What is the best video card for the money? Looking to spend $3-500, more towards $300 if possible/not much difference.
Also I need one that will work with Ubuntu.

Find a 7970 with a decent rebate. Best overall card, hands down.
I can get them all day long for about $400, and you can find cheaper.

Thanks!
How about this one:
XFX Double D FX-797A-TDBC Radeon HD 7970 Black Edition 3GB 384-bit
It will work with Ubuntu and JTR, yes?

Ubuntu, yes.
JTR... yeah, most likely. Depends on the current state of their OpenCL support.
Cryptohaze? Definitely.

No. In any distro, you'll have to install the binary drivers from the AMD website to get OpenCL working.

What algorithm? I can try to do some benchmarking, just very busy with other stuff right now.

NTLM, no rush, whenever you're not busy.
Thanks!
