Which driver do I need for Broadcom4311?

Hello,
I'm using a dell Inspirion E1505, with a Broadcom4311 chipset. I read in the wiki and apparently I have a few options:
1. ndiswrapper - will use as a last resort only, I prefer to find a more linux-y solution
2. BCM4312 driver which apparently works for my 4311
2. broadcom -wl
3. b43

My question is, which driver is the best for my hardware? Apparently all work (according to the "supported cards" in the wiki) but I'm interested to know which is the most optimal driver. I heared BCM4312 doesn't support hidden ESSID, and I'd like to have that capability but is it that impotent?
