I have run both the nVidia driver from the Ubuntu repositories and the one from nVidia without problems, so it is possible to use either. Did you have problems with building the driver for instance or forgot to edit xorg.conf after installing it? The (K)ubuntu driver does need some specific packages installing to work, the nvidia website version needs the various packages to enable you to build it and the kernel sources. If you can expand on the problems you had, it should be possible to sort it out fairly quickly.
