Driver support for ATI has gotten better over the last 6-12 months. I recall when the "Detonator" series of drivers for NVidia were the headaches and ATI drivers were the bomb. Its a cycle and right now both companies are doing well at driver support.
If you were in the US I would say check Newegg - they have some sweet EVGA boards (Like a 9600GT 512 for $85). You asked about manufacturer - yes it matters - but only to a point. The real issue is the quality - the boards are equal speed wise most of the time - its an issue of parts quality and long term life.
