g/b are really same radio band and g is upgraded b, but for marketing purpose the manufacturers would say they've got a router using two bands.
But whatever your own say in that marketing arguement g/b/a does have one extra band for 802.11a, that is for interoperatability with older 11alpha based wireless devices. If this ultimately is a purchasing question and you are building a new wireless infrastructure you should not care for alpha and save the extra money for another need. 11alpha is everyway inferior to 11gamma and it only comes to play with old wireless device infrastructures.
