Because I think I might get an Elite if the Basic is close in pricing..
There are currently 3 Xbox's on the market in production. The Arcade version (which sucks), the Elite (comes with 2 free games) and the Modern Warfare 2 limited edition. The other one, which is the Pro, is not in production anymore is hard to find, but not worth the money anymore.
If anything, I recommend getting the Elite. It comes with a harddrive, which instantly makes it better than the Arcade. Now, as you said you wanted Modern Warfare 2. Then I'd recommend getting the Limited edition one for $100 more (Elite - $300, MW2 - $400). You're getting twice a big of a harddrive as the elite (120GB to 250GB) and extra controller (on top of the one you already get) and a copy of Modern Warfare 2. Those 2 things in itself are worth the extra money, and you already said yourself you're getting MW2 so it's really only about $40 more.
As to what you'll lose, I believe every save for any game you have played. Recovering your profile only recovers your achievements. If you wanted all your saves, I believe you'd need a Official Xbox Memory card and to transfer your profile over onto that.
When it comes down to the Wireless or cord, I recommend just getting an Ethernet cable. You can see, 75 feet is $10 on Amazon, if you need more, they really aren't expensive. Most definitely better than buying a $100 Wireless adapter, and you will have a better connection to live.
Hope all this helps.
