 >So, which way? Nvidia / AMD Radeon?
 >Or - will be better support for HD 8240 integrated graphics soon?

Nvidia certainly has the upper edge right now (thanks to their FreeBSD 
driver), but if you are willing to live with a development tree, you 
could also use your HD 8240 which should be supported soon (probably a 
few months).

Thanks,
