Anything running N now will run the finalized standard and seeing as how most IPs are jumping over the 54Mbps that 802.11G offers (inside of which you have redundancies, which means you're never really pushing more that 27Mbps in terms of actual data) in the next year or two it's not a stupid idea at all to get hardware that can handle that.
Also, I'll agree with you that the Airport is better for Moogle if you can just tell me what options it has in it's setup. I can go into my router and set up a QoS either through LAN or the wireless (or shit, have separate rules for both)with a ton of options covering priority, protocol (TCP, UPD or ICMP) and I can set up local and remote IP and Port ranges; not that I'd personally even need the last options respectively. It takes on click to set up a DMZ, there's a lot of slots for single port and port range forwarding as well as port triggering.
Can the airport cover all that? I'm really not 100% sure, but I've never heard of an Airport having QoS.
