Good question
I'd answer by saying, 'It depends on the use you are going to put it to and location'
At home I have broadband, but occasionally test wifi - but only 54G not N
When I visit friends I often find they have N routers so I can get faster connections using an N dongle
I also spend a lot of time traveling, or on a boat so have a 1 watt [High power, with booster aerial] dongle for that, which also does N data rate, and with good long range connectivity
I prefer dongles that use Ralink chipsets, as they seem better supported
Of the 'mainstream' dongles, often supplied with routers, I might surprise some, but I wouldn't buy/use Belkin, as I had no end of trouble, with poor connections and dropouts, but found Linksys to be OK
This is a useful page for anyone asking the same question

It occurs to me that a table of what is known to work (and what it takes to make it work), and under which Puppy systems.
Fresh fodder for PLUG.
