1mb is the best one to get, but you need to know your upload speed, the faster the better.

even if you have T1 or T3 the fastest connections, you'll still have lag, but 512kb/sec or 1mb/sec will lower the ping to maybe <80 or so.

It should be pretty obvious that the 1Mb would be the better choice. But you have to look at the cost as well.

FFS, I am so sick of people who assume that ping is entirely dependant upon connection speed! The distance between client and server plays a much bigger role. For example:
I live in Australia. If I play on an Australian server, I get a ping of 67.
If I play on an American server, I get a ping anywhere between 250 and 350.
