I highly recommend the xfree-drm drivers for a few reasons. The most important one is that this drivers are open source. I have used both drivers and there was no difference in performance at all, but with ati-drivers I got a very poor video quality (notice that it was a beta version). Anyway the best way to decide is to install both of them and try some playing. Then decide what performs better. Bye. PD: I have a radeon 9000 running excelent with xfree-drm.
