Best Mining Hardware Investment - Graphics Cards or BFL Jalapeno?

So, first thing I want to ask is if anyone has received BFL's Jalapeno, and if they are mining with it as we speak? Is this a viable option right now? How long does shipping take after buying it? And should you buy from BFL's site?

That aside, I am looking at investing in a graphics card to boost my hash speed. Here is the link to the card I was looking at:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130680&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814130680&gclid=COGXxb_-rbcCFSjZQgodbmEAMg

It's an EVGA GeForce 520. I could get it for $40. Any idea about what this thing could do in terms of hashing? And if this one is bad, what is the best mining graphics card? The most bang for your buck?

I have money to invest in bitcoin mining, and I would like to do it right the first time. Should I go graphics cards or BFL products like the Jalapeno?

Thank you all who reply to this post!
