I have been using the edgers PPA for a while now and while at fist there were quite a few regressions regarding 3D performance and suspend/ resume, they are all cleared up now - at least when working without KMS. With KMS I still have performance regressions, but I have not re-tested this in a while, so probably they are already gone as well.
You probably should also say, that without the new -ati stack, there will be no KMS option for -ati in karmic. Furthermore it seems like the new -ati stack will get R600+ 3D support soon(seems to work already in some branches), so that might be an adavantage...
