Greetings, I've had terrible trouble with ATI coping with Linux. This may only be a personal experience but from what I've read on various forums it's apparently not the best for dual in Linux.
I found the solution that worked for me was definitely NVIDIA. I don't have any specific card models to give you because they all seemed to work for me. My vote is NVIDIA anyway...perhaps some others can add some more info for you.

Hello, My boss bought second-hand extra monitors for all of us and I now need to buy a graphics card which can support dual-head for Debian/Ubuntu (and Windows XP and Vista). Since there are always swings around about "best linux support" which I didn't follow, what's the order of the day? Should go with nVidia, AMD or maybe Intel? Any specific card families/models? The computers are a mix of older (2-3 years?) to new (2 months old), so the system bus might be a bit limited too. I don't need to run games or anything too fancy - just plain programming/surfing and remote desktop, though support for Compiz would be a nice bonus.
