My existing card is a 7800 Ultra, and it's driving dual 24" monitors at the moment, but I want a 3rd monitor just for video playback in FCP editing. What are my options? Also, what if any issues are there when mixing ATI and nVidia graphics cards?

For new PCIe video cards that are PPC compatible, the choices are another 7800GT or the X1900XT, both ~$300 cards; I'd go with the 7800GT. You could also try to find a 6600/6600LE ($100-200 cards at the time, and probably haven't dropped much due to the lack of retail availability) on eBay or similar.
Yes, you can mix ATi and nVidia without problems in all Macs.
