Default Any 5ghz N Wireless AP for MBP suggestions???

Does anybody have a suggestion for a 5ghz N wireless access point to connect a Macbook Pro up?? Should I just stick to the AirPort Extreme??

Wireless always frustrates me as there always seems to be conflicts with different chips

Get an AirPort Express/Extreme (depending on what you need/ how big your budget is) - they can function in 5GHZ 'n' only mode

I think I might go for that approach. Its a little more expensive then a straight AP but you also get the ability to connect USB devices to it and for them to be available over the network. I already own a 1.5tb mybook external HDD so instant NAS.
