the one that
1: is for your video card (obvious)
2: supports the DirectX version you are running

And something to remember: never expect good performance if you haven't updated the rest of the hardware drivers

This is probably the most un-answerable question ever asked! (trust me I tried)
You'll find that when it comes to grapics especially FS9 that no two computers are alike, no matter if they are identical machines.
I use a FX5200 with 6111 drivers the best I have yet to try and I tried almost all available, work awesome on my rig, but even if your computer is identical too mine there is no guarentee that they would perform the same.
To many other variables involved to recommend one specific driver for any one machine.
Best bet is too try a few different ones (specific to your card) and see which one pleases you the most as far as graphic quality and frame rates.
And as Ivan stated they won't do much good if they are updated and the rest of your hardware isn't (especially the sound card!).
