For the nvidia driver, I use the livna rpm.  It is much easier to use. 
I have not tried F7 yet so I am not sure how well it works.

I had an issue with network mounting my home directory on an Ubuntu 
machine and I got a white screen.  It was caused by a file in one of the 
gnome config directories.  It is something I will be watching for when I 
install F7 on my home machines in the coming weeks.
