What bothers me, is that im generaly a nvidia guy and ive been using nvidia for about 6 years now and never had an AMD card. For my budget i can afford a GTX 780 or r9 290, which one of these is more stable in terms of driver support? Also, which one is faster in %?
Whats better for driver support? AMD or Nvidia??

It's been 2-3 years since I've used AMD, and I've found that I always dealt with more small annoying bugs with AMD. While you can live with them, it was always annoying how every driver release had a different set of annoyances. I tended to stick with one set of drivers for half a year at a time until I found a new driver that had the fewest set of annoyances.
While Nvidia drivers were never perfect, I tend to be ok just to use what ever driver I have without being annoyed. Some of my issues may have been crossfire related.
As of now, the little things still seem to show up on posts a lot, but AMD has done a lot to fix some major issues since that time.

Well I have a single card and the drivers still crash about once a week and that's a pain when folding.

I don't need to introduce another variable into the equation, the driver I'm using now just crashes rather than the random black screen issue.
And besides that it's threads like this :- http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2288261/amd-catalyst-driver-special-submission-form.html that should tell you all you need to know, if their drivers are so good why do they need help to fix them?
