The 1703 has a superior contrast ratio and DVI (digital video interface) capability and will probably produce the best image. The 172 is a value analog only monitor, perfectly good for most things as well. Keep in mind the monitor is your main interface with your computer, buy all the toys you want, but the monitor is the thing you use the most, spend wisely.
