Okay, I'm split between these two routers:

My current router is basically melting.

I'll have 4 wired connections on the router at all times excluding the WAN port.

1-6 wireless devices on the network at any given time.

Which one would be right for me?

Some? Like what kind?

Laptops, PC's, I think most Dvd players, I believe Roku's, and MAYBE phones...

 

Just better in general

I would get the one with 500 reviews instead of the one with 50.

Well the first one will likely do noticeably better on the 2.4GHz band then the second one, but does not have the 5GHz band, which can be an issue if you are somewhere that's prone to interference from other 2.4GHz devices around. 

 

Most newer devices that use WiFi support receiving 5GHz WiFi, my Galaxy S2 could.
