Bob,
I'm certainly no expert or even a novice with that machine, but do 
remember the thread on the G3 just lately.  I think he ended up using 
his Matrox card to get things going and had the best luck with that.  
Considering that, I would think either of the cards you mentioned to be 
a good choice for your install.

Keep us posted on your progress.
