The R4400.  It's a stronger CPU, and it's clocked faster.  The R4600 is 
the "low cost" variant of the R4400 with a substantially weaker 
floating-point unit.  The only thing that would make me recommend the 
R4600 is if the R4400 is the "PC" variant; that is, if it has no 
secondary cache.  hinv will enlighten you, and you can always swap CPUs 
after loading the OS.  All the R4x00 CPUs use the same kernel in the 
Indy.
