If I were you, I'd try nouveau all the way.  only reason not to would
be gaming.  One thing I still have to check out though is if the
support for vblank is working, otherwise it might have some tearing
when watching video.

But I agree, it's a pain switching between nvidia and nouveau, but I'd
be inclined to blame nvidia itself for that...:)

In any case it's nice to see that a opensource alternative to the
closed nividia driver is available and working better all the time!
