I would take a guess that an 8800 GT would be better. Many games don't support SLI that great so the 8800 GT would be the overall better setup. I'll look into it though!
Ok I did some research and the 8800 GT will basically blow 8600 SLIs out of the water. A regular 8800 GTS 320 will outperform them even in 95% of games. In some games, an 8800 GTS or an 8800 GT will provide double or even triple the framerate of 8600s in SLI.
I usually don't put any SLI setups on my buyer's guide because they rarely perform better than a single card that is one step above (except for the 8800 GTs...two of those in SLI is not only the same price as a GTX but outperforms it quite easily).
