Please, no one get in here and flame ATi or nVidia. We just had a major one the other day, I still feel like a turd.
I like Sapphire for ATi cards. They just seem to make better ones than the others for lower prices. Not to mention their Toxic series is pretty cool. Asus makes top of the line cards but they are way too pricey.
If you want a rock solid, highlyocerclockable and good-looking card, HIS is awesome. They are a bit more expensive than the Built by ATi ones, however their IceQ cooling is crazy... ATi rocks solid on Direct3D, and is okay at OpenGL, although at high res ATi gets it's butt kicked. Other way around with nVidia. Really, either is good, just decide which card you want, and then check the other brand's prices/performance of the similar card.
I hear BFG and eVGA are good nVidia ones, too.
