You can use ubuntu-drivers package, it will install it for you.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # this will show you information
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Make sure to blacklist nouveau driver if installs the nvidia package.

We only have 2 options: generic or 3rd party. And the reason to install either has nothing to do with quality of the driver but if you want to keep your system FREE (as in not corrupted by drivers we/you can not visually check).
The generic one is installed by default. The 3rd party version you need to install yourself.
My advice: if the generic one works stick with that one.
