I like the northwoods. They run a little cooler. I got my 2.8c northwood up to 3500 without raising the voltage.
Computer geeks has a refurbished one for $47.50; Starmicro has one new for about $51.

other than wondering if your mobo can handle the prescott core (not all 478's can), the only other choice I would look at is whether or not the room your pc will be in is cold or not? if its cold, and needs a little heat boost, go prescott, otherwise I would go northwood.
