9000
The 9000 chip is horrible.
This comes from a friend in the USA that has both the 9000 and 16803 wrapped in the same apogee bodies. To give him some credibility, he is chief engineer of the palmomar 200 inch.
The 16803 has only one flaw I can find... It does not gain signal to noise by binning. Don't know why, but I have come across it by 2 seperate observatories, who have done exhaustive testing on it. One observatory ended up going for an e2v 4240 chip, as their purpose is photometry, for which is the 16803 is not suited.
Have fun.
