Personally, I really like the looks of the currrent ATI offerings, but
the ease of just upgrading nvidia drivers rather than switching drivers
appeals to me.  I find mucking about with X drivers to be rather
intimidating. 

Of course, when one of the companies fully supports their pixel shader
stuff on linux, I will probably find that compelling to switch to them
pretty quickly.
