What really matters is your budget and what's going to pay the bills.
If you have money to "spend" a HVX-200 would be a popular choice for
future projects. However, as you point out, if you want the network
gigs you need Beta SP. I would say buy the SP rig and get the gigs
while you save money for an HD rig of some sort. In a few months or a
year or two you will have more choices in HD and can make a better
choice on what the networks may want THEN which may also be your choice
for your own stuff.
