[PLUG] Linux: ATI or nVidia?

I'm looking to buy a new video card, something with some nice 3D
capabilities. I've always bought nVidia cards in the past, but I'm
wondering if ATI would be as good or better for Linux. It seems like
you get more bang for the buck with ATI now, but I'm not sure (I
haven't been up on video cards for a couple years). I know nVidia has
closed-source, downloadable drivers for Linux. How are ATI's drivers
handled?

Suppose you wanted to spend $150 or less on a good video card for
Linux, which card on ENU's list would you buy:

Thanks for your input,
