From experience I like the Omega drivers best, but you have to be sure that your system supports the drivers, Yesterday I had to get some special driver to get my graphics card to work with my motherboard, but I would recommend Omega for games, just be sure you have backups of everything in case anything goes wrong when you change drivers

Personally, I prefer the Omega drivers over the ATI realeases. but this time I might go with the ATI Drivers to do some folding with my gpu.

The latest official cats are 6.11. I would say to use them as they are the most stable and there is actually some performance increases in various games and across the board for me.

The latest version is 6.11. The 6.10 cats are crap so please dont use them. Omega drivers rock but I would not keep the latest omegas installed because there are alot of fixes and performance gains since the 6.9 release.
