Im thinking about ordering a G6 and a superkey but I've also heard that there are a bunch of cool stuff just around the corner... Is it better to wait or should I just pay up for a G6 right now?
I'm only interested in homebrew, since I like to buy my games so piracy-options doesnt matter much. The only thing I need is a slick flashcard that doesnt stick out of my ds lite :)

In my opinion, if you have a DS Lite, you should wait a bit (1-3 months or so) until there are more flush fitting options. It never hurts to wait a little, you may be more satisfied. It's not like any of the current products are going to skyrocket in pricing or go out of production.

O rly? When I was shopping for flash equipment in early 2002, I couldn't find any new Game Boy Color flash equipment for sale[1], even though Nintendo was still making a handheld system compatible with Game Boy Color games (and continues to make the GBA SP v2).
[1] Apart from the GB Bridge.

How good is its homebrew support? Does it come with a sector driver so that Chishm's library can be adapted?

I don't really know.. i guess homebrew should be perfect (but not sure..)
what do you mean by sector driver?
[edit] current version only supports one nds file at a time (no multiboot) but it will probably change soon

A block device is composed of sectors, or blocks of data generally 512 bytes in size. Each type of block device generally has its own procedure for reading and writing sectors; code that implements this procedure is a "sector driver" or "block device driver". A working file system implementation includes 1. block device drivers for common storage media, and 2. a file system that groups the sectors into files.

If it supports one .nds file at once, then how can a homebrew program access data past the first 32 megabits (size of DS internal RAM)? Official DS games treat the Game Card as a block device with a Nitro-FAT file system, but homebrew will need an appropriate block device driver before it can do the same.
G6 Flash is a NOR/NAND hybrid card. It's almost the same thing as an EFA II, but made by the company behind M3.
