Or if you're a big OSS person you might buy ATI anyway even though it's crap, because Nvidia is super closed-source and you want to support the more OSS vendor.

But in general this advice is spot on.
I would contend that both companies have had their fair share of issues over the years. Great example: http://gizmodo.com/373076/nvidia-res...rashes-in-2007

My neutrality is based on my personal bias: I have never had any real issues with parts or software from either company.
