1 - if you have a mac, get one with a firewire port. if you're on windows, just make sure it's USB2. they all are now anyway. Good brands are LaCie, Maxtor, Western Digital, Seagate. Then just get one with the most storage for the lowest price. Two examples:

2 - I've found Netgear to be great. Linksys are also good too, and in fact I've found Belkin to make good stuff too. Some examples:
