On all linksys, belkin, and other wireless routers I've used, they've all seemed to choke on torrents. I'd like to know how the Airport Express and Extreme fare.

Although there can be other causes, choking is generally caused by saturating upload bandwidth or the router running out of RAM for it's NAT table. Whether or not the AirPort products will fair any better for you really depends on what the cause of the problems you've been having is. Have you tried limiting your upload bandwidth or number of connections?
