The nVidia drivers seem to work well when they're not causing any  
problems.  I've had best luck with various open source drivers, when  
they support the hardware.  ATI is making progress towards open  
sourcing their drivers - if I were in your shoes I'd pick an ATI card  
that meets the spec you need and is also due to be targeted by their  
open source drivers.  I believe you can tell that by the type of  
chipset that's used - Wikipedia has a good ATI cross-reference.  They  
make it as difficult as possible to for mortals to figure out what  
kind of card a particular model number represents.
