Unless you have DSL or cable, wireless networking will not be worth it since it will be too slow. I currently have a wireless network set up in my house (SBC-Yahoo DSL) and it's wonderful to surf on the net on my laptop around the house.
As for the Airport Extreme vs. non-Extreme (802.11b vs. 802.11g), I would say it is not worth getting Extreme. The theoretcial speed of 802.11g is 54 mbps, but it rarely achieves it. I currently have a laptop equited with an 802.11g card and router, and I rarely get speed above 11 mbps.
