I am using my GTX 480 for mining and it's crunching at about 106 Mhash/s.  Is it better for me to be on Pay-Per-Share or Proportional payout?

I would sell it and replace it with an ATI.

You are using roughly ~500w @ full load. With 80% PSU efficiency you're pulling 600w from the wall. 600w/hour * 24 hours/day * 30 days = 432 Kwh and at $0.10/Kwh, you would be paying $43.20 a month in electricity and pull in about 57.5 BTC per month or $52.33 a month at current difficulty and current Mt.Gox market price, netting $9.13/mo.

I don't like using ATI cards, their driver support for Linux is not very good.

Well I can't change your mind, but here's some food for thought. You could probably get 5.5x your current Mhash on 2x5870s with at most 50w increase at stock clocks. This would most likely be within your current PSUs power envelope; so you would not need to replace the PSU.

Answering your original question, I would do proportional.
