I find that my EEE PC is fine with the internal antenna for wardriving. I simply wrote a script that automates putting the Atheros card in the monitor mode, loads Dutch's forked gpsd driver and starts kismet. I get about two to two and a half hours on battery with this set up and that is with the BU-303 USB GPS puck.
Unless you have a very specific need to use something other than the default card and built in antenna's, I'd save the money, especially if you are going to be running on battery.
