A friend of mine had serious issues with her Airport Extreme Base Station, where it would need to be reset every few days. We were never able to figure out why it happened.
This is not the norm, as most people have no problems with their AE basestations, but it's not an uncommon problem either.
Otherwise, I used a Linksys wrt54g for years with no problems at all. Good reliable routers with a good featureset, and an opensource firmware that people are continually expanding on.
Currently I'm using a Netgear WGT624 (cause I got it as a present) and I've been very pleased with it's performance as well.
You can't beat the Airport series as far as ease-of-use and setup go, but I've found that Linksys and Netgear routers work just as well, performance-wise, and they're much much cheaper.
