So im planning on bridging two routers using DD-WRT. What i need to know is does the modem play a factor in that at all(do i need to look into an aftermarket one)? what kind of router other than Buffalo should i look into for the process? and does anyone have any other suggestions than bridging routers for better wifi in my household?

You shouldn't need to bridge them, simply connect the one thats not connected to your cable/ADSL line to the one that is then turn off all of the routing features and use your DD WRT one as the router and the other as a dumb wifi switch.
