I agree with the above comment.

Selecting between the list you provide though is a much tougher question. You have mixed dual and single band devices as well as ones that vary in the top speed they can run.

First it does no good to buy a better device than your router. If your router only runs single band and does not support the faster speeds then it is kinda a waste of money.

As a general recommendation the best value for the money is going to be a dual band device that runs 300m on both 2.4 and 5g bands. Many times this will be called 600m. This is a middle of the road device that is only slightly more than very basic devices but tends to be cheaper than the ones that try to push the limits.

If cost is your major...

PCIe versus USB for WiFi adapters doesn't matter a whole lot either way. Which model you get is more important than the interface that is used. Technically, one with PCIemay have an advantage with some of the fastest WiFi connections ifit's also a very good model. However, in practice, the difference is not likely to be significant, let alone noticeable except for extreme situations that you won't see unless you're doing some heavy intranet transfers with proper hardware forit.

If cost is your major concern a single band device that runs only 150m is still going to be much faster than what most people can buy from their ISP for service into the house.
