The package "nvidia-detect" I believe will tell you which driver you 
need.

This will install the correct headers for the current kernel to build 
the nvidia modules.
If the kernel changes you'll have to do that again.
Installing the "meta-package" for your architecture, eg 
"linux-headers-amd64"
will keep the headers up to date with the kernel so you don't have to 
worry about that anymore.
