formerly I used a ATI graphics-card (ATI Radeon 7000 PCI), and I 
really didn't like the quality of it, using it with Xorg 6.9 and the 
ati-driver. It was always flickering horicontically very bad.

I decided to sell this card and bought a nVidia PCIe-Card (ASUS 
N6200TC), installed the nVidia-driver-debs and all works very fine 
now... 

With the experience I had with this, I would say: 
nVidia really is the better choice!
