I had a RH 9 system with a software-based bttv card (ATI Wonder VE) 
and it was rock-solid.  We're talking up to a month without a 
crash/issue.  And I would even upgrade to current CVS every two-three 
weeks.

I just rebuilt my system with FC3 and a new hardware-based encoder 
card (Avermedia M179 - just like the PVR-250) and have been very 
happy.  Again, long uptimes with solid performance.

I would recommend a PVR-250 with FC3.  Jarod's guide also makes setup 
of this system a breeze.
