5500 is clocked slightly faster than the 5200, but not by much at all.

XFX and BFG are both pretty good.

I'd ask what the memory bus widths are on each of those cards. Some 5200s and 5500s had crippled 64-bit buses that really strangles the already slow cards. If they both have the same bus then you might as well go with the 5500 but don't expect much.
