Hi Juan,
I have linksys wireless router and have to say it has been great.
A function called uPnP is very important with routers to ensure that messenger and file transfers work ok and the Linksys (as well as others I am not familiar with) will do this fine.
Generally 'ADSL' modem/routers don't have the WAN input port that is required to connect to your cable modem. There's no harm in getting an ethernet based router now to use for cable and then IF you move to ADSL you jist need to get an ethernet ADSL modem like the D-link 300g, and carry on using your old router.
Different people like different stuff. For the most part all the routers you see on the market will do the job.
