Simple, discreet, quiet, runs linux, what could be more appropriatePersonally I prefer my Linksys router running dd-wrt (have two of them now, one router and one wireless access point running a highly cut down dd-wrt). They're quiet, simple, run Linux, and have more than 1 network port (okay the WAP doesn't that's just got a single port). Works lovely and both units cost me under £20 each.
I'm using Sheevaplugs for data-gathering systems. That sort of application really benefits from the additional memory available because it means I can store the data on tmpfs for a while and squirt it all to a remote server later if there's some sort of connectivity issue.
