Out of those three, the Buffalo WZR HP G450H seems like the best because it has 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band and 32MB flash (so it should be supported by Gargoyle/OpenWRT for a long time). That TP Link has a small 8MB flash.
The WZR HP G300NH2 also has 32MB flash but is 2.4GHz single band. It's what I use as my primary/personal router and it works great as of 1.8.1/1.9. That said, if you're considering this one, keep an eye on eBay (or other websites) for used units because they sometimes sell cheap (not exactly a very popular router).

should i check if my devices support 5ghz?
and is it necessary to get dual band if max internet speed only 7mbps
and i find these on dd-wrt forum
UPDATE (September 2015):
PLEASE CONSIDER r27240 AS THE LAST FULLY TESTED VERSION FOR THE Rev0 PCB G450H (Open your router and look for PCB label if unsure - Remember this, as with altering firmware WILL invalidate your Buffalo Warranty and Support!)
THERE WILL BE NO MORE RELEASES FOR Rev0 PCBs AS THE >26MB BARRIER CONFIRMED BY HARLEKIN PREVENTS UPDATES
DO NOT UPDATE Rev0 G450H's to higher than r27240 - You WILL brick your router!
UPDATE 2 (September 2015):
PLEASE CONSIDER r27805 AS THE LAST FULLY TESTED VERSION FOR THE Rev1 PCB G450H (Open your router and look for PCB label if unsure - Remember this, as with altering firmware WILL invalidate your Buffalo Warranty and Support!)
THERE WILL BE NO MORE RELEASES FOR Rev1 PCBs AS THERE APPEARS TO BE A ~27MB BARRIER PREVENTING UPDATES
DO NOT UPDATE Rev1 G450H's to higher than r27805 - You WILL brick your router!
is it safe to use g450 with gargoyle 1.9?
thx

We are all in the same boat, Router purchase is a risk
