The 8800 i know for a fact is a great card, best card nvidia has had in a while, i've heard alot of bad things about the 9000 series that is probaly why it's cheaper...I know some have the 9000 series on the forums but i dont personally know how they preform...but if you are looking for a good workhorse of a card i'de go with the 8800.
It's an 8800 (high end 8000 series) which is the older technology vs an 9600 (low end, 9000 series) which is the newer technology. I can tell you that my 7900gt cleanly outperforms the 8600gt so I would expect teh same out of an 8800vs9600 comparison.
