I'd say cromwell, as it has 2 512k banks to the lite's one. That becomes more useful if you ever mess up a flash and need to repair it (flipping a switch is a lot easier than hotswapping wink.gif)

Also, since you should reflash the bios regardless of whether your chip come preflashed with a hacked bios (so that you have the best bios for your needs/hdd size/xbox version/ with features like IGR + live blocking) or not, the fact that the cromwell comes prelashed with Flashbios makes flashing the right hacked bios all that much easier (you can just network flash.. takes all of 30 seconds)

Hope that helps!
