The answer is, of course, "It depends on your situation." Personally, I like helical antennas, thought Yagi's have a large following. If you're talking about an exterior walk-around, you can probably get away with any number of small antennas.

As for wireless card . . . I'm kind of partial to the Cisco cards myself. If you're working with external antennas, then you'll want one that's easy to adapt. The less surgery you have to do on the card, the easier your life will be.
