eepro100 was my preference for a while, since mii-tool
worked with it and not with e100 (to detect link status),
but now I have a machine where e100 works and eepro100
doesn't.
so i guess the bottom line is that eepro100 is more
featureful and e100 is more official (vendor-supplied).
benchmark and use what works.
