I would stay away from the linksys, I have seen alot of returns of the regular draft-n router. The new gigabit media link version, though seems to be better.
As for the other brands, I have always had personal good luck with Buffalo, and their ratings are really high. Also, their draft-n routers and cards are the cheapest right now. Best buy has the router for $100 and the cards for $49.
The reason I suggest you go straight to N (the draft has been ratified, so pre n IS n) is because it is all compatible with other brands N units. Unlike the pre-n rangebooster/speedbooster/ rangemax etc technology, they are not inter-compatible with each other, and they run around the same price as N

All the models you listed have the features you need, name wireless security. You would still have to compare the specs though. If all the specs were the same, my rating from low to high would be Belkin > Netgear > DLink > Linksys Keep in mind that this is my opinion only. First decide on the specs. How much encryption it offers, what is the wireless speed, what is the range... You can also try googling the brand name with the word review for what others think. Like "Linksys router reviews"

don't use linksys unless you know that you wifi is compatible, there good on wep's but hard to use and belkin and netgear have flaws in there firmware that is easy to hack (trust me i know) the best is 2wire and easy to use
good luck

Netgear. it often has the longest range. the draft n is a nice one.
