If you want to link to another UNIX box using uucp, you'll need a Telebit.
If you want to cruise the Mac and MS-DOS BBS's then you'll want a USR HST
or USR Dual Standard.

The V.32's seem to be taking over as a standard modem in many applications but
the Telebit is much faster running uucp and the USR HST is much more common
with BBS's.
