I don't think any of the USB wireless adapters support automatic transmit speed control for hostap, and antenna connection is always a problem if you want a good signal. I don't think the USB options are a particularly good choice for a full-time AP. Possibly controversial but I think it might work better with the wired ethernet on USB (url worked well for me, the aue I have wasn't so good), wireless on PCI (I had best success with wi and acx for hostap).
