What do you think is the most probable future BTO graphics option (eg. for the Nehalem generation) Mac Pro?

I would like to add one of the two new ATI cards (HD 4850 or 4870) in my mac pro to use in Windows.
I would like to replace the 2600XT completely and flash the new card for mac once there will be a version with an EFI-ROM (which probably will happen sooner or later, like the 3870 now) and therefore I want to get the card which is more likely to appear as mac version in about a year.

Will it be the 4850 or the 4870? Any guesses or ideas?
 
4850
9900 GT
Quadro FX 5600 or 6600 if that exists by then.

OR, if they're going to switch every revision,

9900 GT
4870
Quadro FX 5600 or 6600 if that exists by then.
