I switched from ati to nvidia card just because nvidia has much better support for linux. I changed to knoppmyth release and I did not succeed to use 1280*720 resolution (that is native for my projector) and I had to scale the image to 1280*768. With fedora I did not have this problem or any problems with tv-out since I could use ati's own drivers. TV-out is only working in ati's own drivers.
Nvidia drivers can be compiled to any distribution. Also gentoo had some odd problem with ati-drivers.
I would suggest nvidia card because of the better linux support.

I've tried allmost all settings on that, and the best was a reasonable
quality. Is there a sort off ideal setting for the Nvidia with PAL? The
examples on the mailinglist seem to be tailord for NTSC.

For example, the colors looked 'overdone' the bright colors where very
bright and the dimm colors all looked grayish (i hope you understand).
Also it looked a bit unsharp. But i've seen the same with the ATI if I
enable the deinterlacing options. But I can switch that off with the ati
without a visible impact (only the picture looks sharper).
