I'm a real Phase5 fan, first turbo was a Blizzard1230MK3. But between that and my BlizzardPPC040 (later sold and now currently own a Blizzard1260 and a Blizzard1230MK4) I owned a rubbish Apollo1230/50 that would never work well (often lockup and guru for no apparent reason no matter hom much I tinkered with it) and a Cobra1230/33.
I belive the Cobra is a very nice card as long as you get a 3.1 compatible card and stick to the 33Mhz version (none EC CPU / Overclocked). Mine ran fine and was only replaced cause I involved myself in a maximum uppgrade mission for the A1200 and for that needed a PPC and GFX card solution. :-D
If you find a 33Mhz version that is 3.1 compatible and negotiate right you'll probably be able to get it for about 25$... but stay away from the overclocked 28Mhz version and the only EC 40Mhz version.
