Wireless router options???

I need to set up a wireless network at my home with one wired pc and the other wireless.

With so many options available in the market, I am confused as to which one should I go for  as I need to have a less expensive but effective network at my home

Questions:
1) Linksys has  Wireless-G (802.11g)  and Wireless-B(802.11b) options. The G ones are expensive one but offer data rate of 54 Mbps as compared to the B ones with data rate of 11 Mbps.

2) Does the Network PC Card and the router have to be from the same company??

3)Is Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Cable/DSL Router and Linksys WPC11 Wireless-B Notebook Adapter
a good option??

4) At present I am using Linksys BEFSR81 and really satisfied with the Internet connection speed. But I could not find the data transfer rate for this so I can not compare it with the wireless routers.???

Any suggestions please..
Thanks

That makes things pretty clear.
Thanks.
In addition to answer your question number 4, since Linksys BEFSR81 is not a wireless router the connection speed between your workstation and the router should be 100Mbs. However, the actual "internet download speed" still depends on your WAN connection speed.
