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..

Yet another LinkSys fan here. I have the wireless version of the same router connected to my cm, running 2 desktop pcs, 1 old laptop pc (wired connections) and occasionally up to 3 Centrino equipped laptops (3 people who work in the IT industry living at my place.) It does this without a hitch straight out of the box. Also LinkSys are now part of Cisco systems.
My second choice would be the USRobotics router (owned by 3com)
Both provide excellent and easy to use solutions, and superb backup should anything go wrong (unlikely, but very handy for any noob.)
