While what Billy says is true (nvidia == binary only driver), my understanding is that the nvidia driver has a tendency to be more stable and have better performance (fps, etc). This is completely anecdotal however. I've only ever used the nvidia ones myself and have never had a problem. Of course, one's philosophy on tainting the kernel, using binary only software, buying hardware from companies that won't support open source may affect the decision as well. -- With a PC, I always felt limited by the software available.
