i915g is for quite old hardware, for which Intel stopped adding new features.
AMD have r300g, r600g, radeonSI and so on..
Nouveau have just nouveau but they also have different drivers for different generations of hardware (but they more often use chipset names)

I've switched my wife's laptop from classic to Gallium and back again. The initial switch was because Minecraft didn't run under classic. Eventually we found Gallium to be a little too unstable and by that time, Minecraft was working under classic and it was significantly faster. I'll give Gallium another go but I doubt much has changed since.
