I was in the same position a short while ago. The problem is... it's not
just about "Nvidia or AMD" -- the exact chipset and your use case matter.
I ended up with (on-chip) Intel (it's a desktop), on the "theory" that
there are some X developers working on Intel's money and writing free
X drivers.
Of course, if you are aiming at high-end gaming or parallel computation
on your graphics card, that would not be an option, since the external
graphic cards have way more oomph than those on-chip thingies.
For day-to-day stuff (browser, video editing, Gimp) it seems perfectly
adequate.
