Hardcore?  How about commercial-grade Cisco Aeronet products?  Look
up the book _Building Ca isco Wireless LAN_ by Fuller et al.

For home products, I can't recommend any.  Period.  I'm convinced
that "home wireless" isn't ready for prime time yet.  May be getting
there, especially when better encryption comes out.

In particular stay away from D-Link.  My experience with their
products included lots of lost connections, even when the devices
were in the same room.

That said, I *have* heard more positive reviews about Linksys than any
of the others.
