If you are not limited on price. Go with the 90HRSW. You WILL NOT be disappointed. I've used both. The 70 was a great lens. But the 90 is a WOW lens. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think the re-sell value on the 90 will be a little better than the 70 as it is much harder to get your hands on.
I had to make the same decision as you. I first planned on 40, 70, 120 as focal lengths.
However, they didn't have any 70's in stock. But I had the chance of getting one of the very first 90 HR SW's so I decided on 32, 50, 90, (and now looking for a 210) - quite a bit more expensive, but a broader range and more useful for my work.
If you are planning on tilting, the 90 is top notch corner to corner.
Here are some photos I took of my RRS tripod.
The full photo taken with p65+ and 90HRSW
And a close up crop (not from same photo, but same distance and same lighting)
And a photo with 8-10 degrees of downward tilt to get hand and glasses in focus. Taken at almost wide open (wider than f8)
