What card to get really depends on what games you play.

And also, what power supply do you have.

The 4870 would be the better of those cards.

You can only sli nvidea cards, and only crossfire ati cards. The mother board will say which it can handle, if it can handle that at all.

I believe the two cards are pretty comparable. I think it depends on the games. One card does better in some games and settings, while the other card does better in different games and settings.

You can't really lose either way.
