And I choose tripod before USM. I never did figure out how this is supposed to be so wonderful. The bigger the lens, the harder to handhold. Jeeze, just how long do you want to hold even a 300mm lens waiting for the moment?
In fact, most of my tripod shots are pre-framed, pre-focused, and I sit there with an old fashioned cable release just looking at the subject. Much rather do that than hand hold.

If you ask me, I think both are important these days. However, if one must choose, I will put IS before USM. It really saves your lots of blurred shots with telephotos.
