Well for PtP applications the Andrews 24dbi Parabolic grid cannot be beat.  
For sectors look at til-tek they have the best variety and specs.  I suggest 
you stay away from a omni unless you have a small area to cover, as they tend 
to pickup a lot of noise.  

For your radio equipment you should consider the Breezenet series, and they 
are cheep, and built like a tank.  FHSS is much more robust than DSSS, as you 
can locate up to 15 AP's in the same area, and each will get 150-200kbps 
throughput (tcp).  Plus you will knock most DSSS guys down to 5Mbps :-)
