AGP in general is fine.

See xfree86.org. Potato includes Xfree86 3.3.6, so if you
specifically want support for potato, buy a card from that list.
However, Debian 3.0/woody will be released as the new "stable" within
a few months, and it includes Xfree86 v. 4.1, so I'd probably buy a
card from the list of supported cards for that 4.1 version of Xfree86,
as that will give you access to newer cards (that might even be better
bang for the buck).
