Both conform to the EHCI spec, and therefore (I would imagine) would run with the Linux EHCI driver module. However, if you get the chance to choose, go the NEC chip. Not only is it a more robust implementation of the spec, the VIA chip tends to be used in cheaper implementations where the USB board layout guidelines are not so strictly adhered to ....
