I really pretty much have no use for ATI cards.  Matrox's seem to have the
best graphics quality of anything on 2D (presumably SGIs are better, but I've 
never done an AB comparison of those), and Nvidea seems to have the best 3D
quality in both performance and image quality of the consumer/prosumer
market.  Wildcats sure are fast and flexible, but I've seen more bugs in them
than I have Nvideas, although I suspect that might have something to do with
other people writing broken apps more than the cards being bad.  Their video
signal doesn't hold up as well to bad cables though, thats for sure.
