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.

Another Linksys fan here ...
The only one I've heard of people having issues with on NTL was a belkin that was being sold really cheaply - but IIRC a firmware update solved the problem..
I run a Linksys BEFSR41 router with a Netgear ME102 WAP, all works great...
I agree with tkiely that you are best off buying just a router rather than a router/modem combo - this will make sure you do not have to buy a complete replacement if you schange to ADSL etc.
The linksys has DMZ controls and simple port forwarding (abit limited but enough for most).
The others will probably do as well, but I can only speak from personal experience on the Linksys..
