    WEP is crap ... can be cracked with tools from the web ... WPA-PSK (pre shared key) is the one you want ... you put in a good password (uppercase and lowercase with numbers i.e. not guessable) and it can create per user, per session and per packet keys ...
    the last one is for use with a radius server and uses a key from it ... not really applicable for home use
