Intel.
Intel has been providing specs for a long time, so drivers are in better
shape.
I've found getting effects or dual-head working on ATI and nVidia to be a
pain.

Compiz-fusion on Intel is supposed to just work.
If you're not planning on playing video games then the Intel card should
be great.

You can buy from Dell with Ubuntu and install some other operating system
in a virtual machine :).
