If you wish to use kms and mesa drivers, you can compare the current status of various AMD chips here: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature#Feature_Matrix_for_Free_Radeon_Drivers I got a Sapphire HD6670 Ultimate edition (passively cooled) which works beautifully in all things that I use it for (desktop, games, video). I picked the radeon 6670 (Northern Islands chip, "Turks" to be specific) because it's the latest chip with the best mesa support (Southern Islands chips 3D support is work-in-progress at the moment) and I'm happy with it.
