I'd go for a straight-out 8500 128MB, myself, but between those two, I'd go for the slightly more stripped 3D core and more updated 2D/dualhead of the 9000. It's really a matter of taste/price, as the 9000 runs neck-and-neck with the 8500LE in most things, ahead in a few, behind in a few. The 8500LE might not have the second RAMDAC for dualhead, it's a trade-off either way. Price will probably count for more than features, in this comparison.
