Which (170 or 200) would be best suited to match an HPX500?

We're getting ready to purchase a couple new packages and I need some advice. I plan on getting an HPX500 for my A camera, and then either a 170 or 200 for a B unit. Which one of these, if either, seems to match the 500 the best? We'll be mainly doing sports (not live, just archival), using the 500 for slow-motion sideline work and the B unit for a top camera.

Thanks!

Either one can match the 500.

That being said, if you don't need to record in DV tape, I'd get the 170 just for the waveform/vectorscope alone.
 
The 200a and the 170 have the same sensors (though not the 200) as one another, so all things being equal, the 170 has quite a few perks over the 200a if you don't need to shoot to tape.
