My take is that AMS 5659 specifies the material composition, and provides a recipe for heat treating to the solution treated condition. There are basic guidelines for heat treating samples of the solution treated material to verify that it has the capability to achieve precipitation hardened...
Taking a stab at this but others can likely provide better response.
What temperatures and solutions do you expect the part to see? If just "dirty" water at ambient conditions, either option is probably OK.
Typically Type III hardcoats are used for wear resistance in the un-sealed condition...
