I heartily recommend nVidia, their drivers work nicely. Dual head is supported. Driver installation is simple, just download, extract, make install. Also you gotta install x11/nvidia-settings, with this tool it is really easy to configure screen layout etc.

If you do have something against closed sourced drivers then I have no idea what to use except Google.
