I cannot recommend what would be the best, but instead I'd like to
point out which one's not a good buy.

From one point of update since SL 6.2 I was continuously having
problems with my Intel 3945 ABG wifi card. Serious kernel panics and
hangings happened after a couple of minutes uptime. I read about
similar problems on the net from CentOS systems too around the same
time of my update.

This card was working just fine before on SL, and even after on
different Linux systems - later I even bought another card
with the same chipset - but SL still produced the errors. So I replaced
my card with one from Atheros and problems are gone.
