Whatever is cheap...if you get one with a stateful packet inspection firewall, you'll be nice and secure, but that is generally thought of as an overkill for the home user. If you use a good software firewall and have it configured properly, you don't really need a hardware firewall.

To answer your question, D-Link and Linksys have never let me down. My wireless Motorolla from Walmart was only $50 and it's wireless with a "firewall", but the firewall is pretty useless on it.
