If you're planning on doing anything at all that requires 3D acceleration, go with nvidia.
Oh yah, I forgot about that since I don't game at all on the computer that has an ATI card. If you want to play games... particularly if you venture into Cedega or Wine for playing some more mainstream Windows games in Linux, ATI cards are often explicitly named as not supported (ie you take you chances) or not working at all (ie exactly that.. 100% not working) where nVidia cards work fine. It all comes down to what you want from your video card. General desktop, pretty much any card will do, including ATI. If you want the extras for gaming etc, then, as Nkoli said, skip ATI and go with nVidia.
