For highly competitive play, you should go with the auto-patellar graft. I have the auto-patellar in my right knee, and auto hamstring in my left knee. The auto-patellar is a faster recovery since you don't have to rebuild muscle in the hamstring harvest site. The patellar harvest site aches every now and then, but gets you back quickest.
As Dr. Mark said, the graft taken from the opposite knee speeds up the recovery even more, but you'd have to find a surgeon who does them.
Good luck!
