There is little difference in range between standard Wi-Fi cards. If you need more range, get a card with an external antenna connector so you can use a high-gain external antenna.

In that case then I'll get the Linksys as I think it'll be more reliable. Do you know if they sell cables I can attach to the card and then connect the antenna so I can move the attenna maybe 10' from the computer to see where I can get the best signal.

That will only work with a card that has an external antenna connector, in which case you'll need to know what kind of connector the card has.

I'd personally avoid the losses of a 10' antenna cable by going with a USB adapter. (No losses in a USB cable.) Hawking makes one with a built-in high-gain antenna.
