It is better to purchase a wireless pc card instead of a wireless usb stick. For laptops, the wireless pc card is portable and is able to get a better signal. Wireless usb sticks are portable, but the signal is usually weak.
If this is for a desktop, then you would need to purchase a wireless pc card adapter for the wireless card. For the usb stick, you would just need to stick it in the usb port. However, signal strength mentioned above still apply here.
A wireless pci card is usually the best option for desktops (not to be confused with wireless pc card which is a thin credit card sized device).

In my opinion it's better to go with the USB one because you can use it with any PC. If you go with a card, and you get a new desktop or notebook computer, it might not work out.

Only one rule to observe. If you have busy metro, or line in
business, heavy line get the card. Otherwise you want the
system to identify you with your card built in service ISP. The
modems offer several service upgrades.
