The 6100 is underpowered for HDTV, and has no DVI. Only the 6150 supports the PureVideo HDTV acceleration features (http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html). So for a frontend, you'd want the FID.
I think the IL is 6100+430, not 6100+410 as shown above, otherwise the IL and L would be the same. The 430 should add GbE, 2 SATA ports, and RAID 0+1 & 5 to the 410 (http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo.html). If you're using SATA drives or RAID on a backend, you might want the IL. For just a cheapo backend the L is sufficient, though I don't think the price difference is great between all three.
