the wxga+ option will be slightly better, but you will still lose lots of vertical real estate with the D620. I would pick the 820 with the highest resolution possible (WUXGA - effectively 1600x1200 resolution on a widescreen display), but if that is too small for you i wouldn't go any lower than WSXGA... Got to have room to code!
