I do not own any ATI cards, but in the past, I had read there were some 
issues with then & Linux. What I own is a Geforce 7300 GT card, and 
previously a GeForce4 MX440 (if I recall well the model), and NVIDIA 
support has been *excellent* on both so far. MX 440 is no longer 
supported in the latest NVIDIA drivers, it was too old, that's why I got 
the 7300 GT.


I am using the latest NVIDIA drivers from ATRPMS repository:


[john at localhost download]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia
nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.el5.at
nvidia-graphics9755-devel-1.0_9755-86.el5.at
nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at
nvidia-graphics9755-1.0_9755-86.el5.at
nvidia-graphics-helpers-0.0.18-19.el5.at
nvidia-graphics9755-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el5-1.0_9755-86.el5.at
nvidia-graphics9755-libs-1.0_9755-86.el5.at

[john at localhost download]$


So myself would go for an NVIDIA instead of an ATI due to my good 
experience of it, but it is up to you to decide.
