Radeon should be best bet as it has better 2D quality than others out there and drivers for Win98SE are good. You then need to determine what flavor: LE, VE, 32MB SDR, 32MB DDR, 64MB DDR, AIW, etc.
Well, it's a toss-up between a Matrox G400/450 or Radeon LE. Look at it this way, get the latter if he plans on getting stellar DVD performance and the former if he wants better 2D quality.
I think the Radeon LE might be his best bet. It'll have 2D comparable to Matrox and superior to nVidia, with the added bonus of best-of-class DVD decoding and great 3D speed, for only $77. If he's going to stick to Win98, it's probably the best choice, unless he can find a Voodoo 3 for less.
