Use fglrx. It just works. I've been using fglrx for more than 5 years and it worked most of the time. Yes, there are certain problems but at least it never crashed my kernel at random times.
Tell me moar about it. I have 9600GT m in a laptop and you know what? Nvidia has only legacy support for it. Moreover there are kernel crashes from time to time which appeared some time ago and which nvidia is not going to fix anyways (there was a lengthy thread in nvidia's forum).
So all your facts are the same as MS's "get the facts".[/QUOTE]

Some developers just recommend to use open source drivers instead of Catalyst.

No OEM makes perfect drivers. Some people want to learn the hard way though. Please, head right over to NVIDIA if you think they're so flawless

At least support for an amd card will come sooner or later; forget it about nvidia.
