I'm using current Intel drivers on another machine and they seem fine
to me. But I don't care much about 3D performance. My own "benchmark"
is how fast can I switch virtual desktops. ;-) The fglx (?) driver was
very noticeably slow and annoying, and unstable. Another strange
annoyance of it was my console would lock up for minutes at a time, but
not exactly hang (I could ssh into the machine), but then
mysteriously start working again. It would do that frequently. The
open-source drivers don't do that. 

So that's my experience that I go by to make a recommendation to the OP.

Thanks for the clarification. One down...
