What driver to use?

[Ronin13]

I have a feeling there is no clear answer to this, but here goes:

I've ordered a Creative Labs Annihilator2 GTS, and while I'm waiting for it, I'm looking for which drivers to use.

I have 3 options: (The 2 Creative drivers can be seen here: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1255&p=1 )

Creative's own Blaster Control, which should be pretty userfriendly and highly tweakable, but latest update is 5 months old.

Creative's own Fast Trax, which has a simpler interface, and build around nVidia's Detonator drivers. Latest is 1 1/2 moths old and based on the 12.90 build.

Lastly I could go with a Detonator driver, though I'm not sure which.

The good thing about the Creative drivers, is they come with tweak options for overclocking and AGP settings, so I don't have to install Coolbits and AGP Wizard.

(Since I'm using a BX board I will need to set AGP speed to 1x or 2x)

It seems the 12.90 is a pretty good build, so should I go with the latest Fast Trax drivers or wait for the Detonator 4 and get the AGP Wizard? (I'll get the card in about a week)

All advice wellcome

I'm currently using the 12.90's on my 3 systems with no problems.
I tried the 14.00's , but they showed artifacts while playing DVD's, so there some kind of a overlay problem there.

I'm also using the 12.90 for my GTS, and it's pretty stable. I've tried out few of the 14.xx... The performance did not really increase that much... and I remember that 14.10 got me into some minor problems... So right now I'm staying with the 12.90.
