Or, maybe these typical scenarios will help you decide:

Your Scenario	Our Suggestion
I'm a home user, wanting wifi and wired connections for ADSL or FTTC		Technicolor 582n
I have my own routerboard or similar router with ADSL		DLINK DSL 320B. In bridge mode, your router can then talk PPPoE to it.
I'd like to do bonding with ADSL/FTTC		FireBrick 2500, and use a DLINK modem if you have ADSL lines. Or use a 2700 of you have faster lines and may want fallback to 3G.
