Open source drivers are 100% going to be the most stable, lowest-hassle option.
Not remotely true in my experience. I always give the nouveau drivers a shot in every new fedora release and they always crash my system within a week (usually within a couple of hours). I switch to the nvidia drivers after that and never have another problem.
I'm sorry, let me rephrase: cards for which there are open source drivers supported by the manufacturer (AMD, Intel) are the best choice. With Nvidia, Nouveau is always playing a catch-up guessing game.
