Prospect, you can go here:

Those are all the current routers on the market sorted by WAN -> LAN performance. If you're just worried about routing performance, just make sure you get one that has a higher WAN to LAN rate than your download speed on your plan.
Personally, I'm running the Netgear Nighthawk with a customized DD-WRT firmware. It's the fastest consumer grade router you can buy right now, but it's also not cheap. On the brightside, the DD-WRT development by Kong is quite active, and the lates firmware is extremely stable and very, very fast. Check this for more info:

Hope this helps!
P.S. I'm just looking at those charts right now, and it looks like; if you can find it, the Netgear WNDR3700v2 is pretty good price/performance candidate.
