https://www.sheldonbrown.com/dura-ace.html has a brief discussion of these two hubs. There is a difference mechanically, but imperceptible functionally.
FWIW Shimano pricing seems to go up geometrically with time so 7850 parts 'may' also be cheaper in the future.

Either will be ok. I prefer the Ultegra and 105 hubs because the freehub body is a little heavier.
Avoid the 7800 and 7801. The right side axle bearings are inboard like an old freewheel hub.
