VFD choice for vertical water pump

[BearB]

I would like to thank this site and all that contribute.

I am working with a pump company at our company installing 2 vertical water pumps. The motors will be 100hp, 480v & 150hp, 480v. I have a choice for the VFD's: AB Power Flex 400 or the Eaton Cutler Hammer SVX9000. I have used the AP Power Flex 70 Drives and older AB VFD's but neither of the 2 offered. Anyone have any comments or information that would help in my decision?

Come back here if you need advice on whether you should use one or not, or when it doesn't work.
