Best graphics card brand for GStreamer?

This can only be true in theory, but in practice it obviously isn't. The
same GStreamer application fails very differently with different symptoms
and frequencies on both Intel HD and nVidia. Unfortunately, very frequently
on both, for GStreamer to be useful in any production environment. I don't
believe GPU hang stuck on render ring or unexpected pageflip can be blamed
on my code.

Does anyone have a well-founded opinion/recommendations on the best
GStreamer/driver/hardware compatibility? I am about to give up on GStreamer
as useless for production purposes, sorry.
