What are the preferred routers for use with UMA service, at least as of September 2009?

Well, the old T-Mobile Linksys WRT54G-TM is only available on eBay these days.

T-Mobile offers their @Home wire phone service with a couple of routers: the HiPoint and the Linksys WRTU54G. They're cheap ($40?) if you sign up for the @Home service, but $140-$160 if you don't.

T-Mobile also offers a D-Link TMG5240 wireless router. Anyone have any experience with this model? At $19.95, it certainly is priced well.

Or should I just find a way to enable QoS on my existing router? Although the Linksys models also supposedly did some power management tricks that helped UMA battery life.

Suggestions?
