No idea, it's probably best you don't select one now and use the default VESA for now. You can always get your gfx card working properly later if needed.

Not sure, choose AppleNForceATA for now. If it doesn't work try the other

Again, not sure what the difference is. You can always install the other later if needed.

As a side note, you should be able to click on each option to find out what it does and then make an educated guess if you need it or not. Make sure you're prepared for a lot of trial and error. Good luck!
Also as I recommend to everyone, once you've made your machine work and know what kexts you need to get it running – I would ditch the prepatched install dvds and go the retail EFI partition method. The main benefit of this approach is that you have a 'vanilla' machine without hacks and can use Apple Software Update without worry.
