Rather than choosing which driver to use, why not continue the mandate of education and provide documentation, kernel modules ala slackware, the capacity to load and unload them, and pci-utilities to do some forensics when using obscure chipsets?
This might be more complicated at first, but it would mean that people who own a network card with a plain old Realtek 8139 chipset don't have to worry about the card not properly being detected.
