Purely out of those two, the Radeon. It's a whole generation behind the 5200 but nvidia's cards at that point were lackluster, partly because of their bad relationship with M$, there weren't able to put the correct Sm in the card.
It all depends kinda of a toss up, the 9250 is DirectX 8 with 64 bit memory and the 5200 is DirectX 9 and can have 128bit memory. So it really depends what FX 5200 your talking about?

Both are horrible cards by todays standards, but between those two the FX5200 is the better card.

i have 2 xfx 8800 gtx in sli (OC) and really good
Amazing, has nothing to do with this thread. Congratulations.
As for the choice, I'd go with the FX5200, but if you can try and step it up to the GeForce 6 series.
yeah u wont get any good performance, if u can pay 50 bucks for a card i recommend those one.
