I have used ATI cards in the past. I used the Rage II and Rage Pro chipsets (e.g. the All-in-Wonder, and an embedded card on a gateway box). Both worked very well. Recently, I purchased a new machine at work that came with an ATI 2000 card. I never got it working well under XFree 3.3.6, so I upgraded to 4.0.3, and it works wonderfully. At home, I use a bit more graphics power with a GeForce II and X 4.0.3. I previously used the GeForce I with 3.3.6, and loved it (until it burned out :-( ). The only card I really didn't like was a Diamond Viper 550. The display was terrible. Admitedly, I only tried in 3.3.6.
