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.
