NFC West
The 49ers have had many rivals throughout their history. In the 1970's and the early 1980's their biggest rival was the Dallas Cowboys. Throughout the 1980's and early 1990's their chief rival was the New York Giants who they played in the playoffs numerous times. Then, in the early 1990's Dallas became great again, and the Cowboy-49ers rivalry renewed in a big way. After that, in the mid 1990's the Green Bay Packers with Bret Favre emerged as a big rival. Today, the 49ers biggest rival is fellow NFC West team, and recent Super Bowl Champion, the Seattle Seahawks.
The 49ers have played 920 games as of Sunday November 8th, 2009, and their record all time is 498-407-15. More info here: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sfo/

San Francisco 49ers
NFC West was created in 1970.
The Team of the 1980s played the Team of the 1990s nine times from 1990 to 1997. San Francisco won five of the contests, three of which were NFC Championship Games.
As far as the Cardinals' best season in Arizona, it would have to be 1998. After posting a 9-7 regular season record & qualifying for the postseason via wild card, they traveled to Dallas and defeated the Cowboys, 20-7. This playoff win was the first for the franchise since 1947, when the then-Chicago Cardinals won the NFL championship.
