If it could get me a bit of extra performance I am all for it. It is just reliabilty that concerns me.

THe Omegas were better when they allowed for Macrovision removal. I had some old tapes that I wanted to preserve on DVD a while back so this driver was useful. Now they don't have a whole lot to offer anymore since that doesn't work these days - unless they re-enabled that capability. They have some more tweaks than the standard drivers is the only real difference now. As far as speed, it is not going to get you anything over the standard drivers unless you are into overclocking. My XTX is designed to be overclocked, so the standard ATI drivers do that already.
Gizzmoe could probably give you a better rundown if you need more info since it has probably been a couple years since I last tried them.
