The answer probably depends on whether or not you use 3D acceleration! As far as I know (and I haven't been keeping myself up to date very well) there is a lot of activity on the dri project improving 3d acceleration for Radeons. If you just want 2D, then XFree86 snapshots or CVS are fine. If you want faster 3D, though, then try http://dri.sourceforge.net/. I think the mergedfb patch (for accelerated 3D) is now integrated with DRI too, again making this look like the easiest option.
