Everything but the 9800 Pro is pretty good. The 9800 Pro was probably one of the best cards of it's time (cost $400 when launched!), but now it's considered pretty ancient.
For $300, some good options are the 7600 GT, 7800 GT, 7900 GT or the X850 XT PE, X1800 GTO, X1800 GTO2, X1800 XT and X1900 GT. Those all fall within the $300 budget. The big part is where your loyalties lie. Do you prefer ATI? Or do you prefer NVIDIA?
Each company has their pros and cons, so there isn't really one "best" one.
