Would a openSUSE version with long term support help with keeping the ATI binary drivers working?
Not really. The fglrx drivers are kernel specific... so anyone with an older ATI card that is in legacy support even with the Windows drivers... is out of luck on the binary drivers. The current fglrx drivers will not work with the legacy cards, and the old versions of the fglrx drivers that support the legacy cards won't build against the newer kernels. If you've got an older ATI card, the FLOSS drivers work fine for regular desktop support. In my experience, where the FLOSS fall down are with HDMI support, and gaming... if those two things are not in a consideration, then ATI is not an issue... and long term support isn't a win or a loss.
