I'm assuming you want to use this wifi card with the aircrack-ng suite of tools, yes? If so, the question really becomes "what has the best compatibility with aircrack-ng?".
To answer that question, I'll direct you here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers
No matter what you buy; if it's compatible with linux, then it's compatible with Kali. Maybe not out of the box, but even so. It's more about the programs you want to use it in conjunction with.
Make sense?

Alfa AWUS051NH is dual band and uses the same driver (rt2800) as the Ralink 3070-based AWUS036NH (single band). The 051NH should work out the box because the rt2800 driver is preloaded in Kali.

the alfa AWUS051NH is something the i looked for, but that model is discontinued i found one on ebay claim to be new don't know if is genuine ....something else the i found what is newer is Airlive X.USB-3 - 11 a/b/g/n 300 Mbps Dual band USB adapter with antenna(http://www.ebay.com/itm/290875016318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) i don't know if anybody got experience with that also i found this alfa usb adapter what is not a dual band but i guess it will work out the box http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Alfa-Networks-1000mW-USB-WiFi-ADAPTER-AWUSO36H-v5-GENUINE-Hologram-AWUS036H-/110740485328?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item19c8a5b4d0
and yes i do need the adapter to run ng-aircrack but like i said a lot of the models on the ng-aircrack website are discontinued.. so i decided start this thread because i thought some people it may have some recommendations with newers devices
