More functionality, better performance (with the amplified router), no need for the airport express though a little more complicated to set up. I set up a router at a friends house this way in under 10 minutes... an additional 5 minutes of hassles at most, and saved the additional $130 odd.

Though again it depends on if you know what you're doing and what you need it for... if you want simplicity, go apple.
I don't understand the "more functionality and better performance" bit. I think you'd be hard-pressed to prove to me that a Netgear router out-performs or has more options than an Airport Extreme.
