Doubt about which driver to use for ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE

Currently this is what I get with lspci -v

00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
    Subsystem: Device 1631:c109
    Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
    I/O ports at 01f0 [size=8]
    I/O ports at 03f4 [size=1]
    I/O ports at 0170 [size=8]
    I/O ports at 0374 [size=1]
    I/O ports at ff00 [size=16]
    Kernel driver in use: pata_atiixp
    Kernel modules: pata_atiixp, atiixp

it seems there are two different modules I can use, is the one being used an older one and I should blacklist it or should I follow the rule if it isn't broken, don't fix it?
