SIP will cost you an extra $100 per phone to license the SIP software.

But the SIP has been working for a long time with * and is gernerally 
quite stable.

On the other hand, SCCP comes with the phone, and the phone has many 
more features.

However chan_sccp has not been tested heavily and is likely to have a 
few bugs in it.

I would recommend that you set it up both ways and see for yourself.
The phone definitely feels nicer in sccp.
