I figure WiFi is typically good for about 150 ft of range tops. Will I get at least 1 Mbps of range with the Airport Extreme base and external Dr. Bott antenna to Airport clients?

If not, can I reliably get 150 ft through Airport Extreme base bridging?

The client isn't likely going to home-brew a directional antenna, so any off-the-shelf suggestions are appreciated.
