Never having used Java3D i will still try to answer:
As far as i can see the java3d-re package in Debian non-free depends on
libgl1, which suggests that it uses OpenGL for rendering (great!).

So you wan't to go for a card with decent OpenGL capabilities, nVidia
has OpenGL enabled closed source drivers, so that should work. However
you might want to consider another chip maker like Matrox, i believe
they have open source'ed their drivers.

I'm sure other people remeber better which cards are open source (i'm
stuck with the nVidia drivers because that was the only card i could
choose in my Dell laptop).
