For me ATI is
preferred, because free (as in Freedom) drivers are
availably, and even the non-free ones work very well.
I don't see any difference between ATI and nVidia. Both provide
binary-only drivers for 3D. For both, there is open source 2D only
driver available ("radeon" vs "nv"). This is the case for any
reasonably
recent GPU.
The difference is that the free ATI driver supports hardware accelerated 3D.
