I'd stay away from anything called ATI.
I do sort of the opposite. For me the Intel and ATI FOSS drivers are superior to NV FOSS drivers. I find dependence on proprietary drivers inconsistent with Linux distro philosophy, and an unnecessary complication at installation and update times. I spent money on a NV card for the last time 6-7 years ago. The few I use made since then were free.
ATI is a no-go zone if you want to play games via Wine. If you're only working on your basic desktop applications, then an Intel or lesser video card will do the job... basically any current or even older video card. It's all about what you want to do... and as you also noted.. budget. If you want to get mired down in the whole FLOSS vs blob drivers thing... then... Intel is the easiest route/solution... no futzing about, but the trade-off is a card who's performance is... poor overall.
