I've had great luck with a Matrox MXO2 Mini and NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac. Add in the MAX H264 encode acceleration and it's been a great little tool for monitoring out of all these applications (except FCPX that is).
Premiere Pro hardware support is still iffy overall but I've had better luck with the Matrox in PPro than my AJA Kona LHe. But the Kona 3 is a great card too and PPro hardware support should get better.
The CUDA support of the NVIDIA means great PPro support for Mercury Playback Engine as well as some good realtime performance in Resolve of need be. I haven't had any problems with Avid and the Quadro 4000 either.
