I have only shot a couple of rolls of HDC but I was very impressed - I
found it particularly good for blue skies.
As far as RSX goes, I've only shot one roll, but (and I think someone
else mentioned this as well) the shadow detail is excellent. Much wider
latitude than Velvia. Examples online:

All three were taken in very contrasty morning light down at 28 degrees
north on La Palma in the Canary Islands. A shot taken on Velvia
demsonstrates the complete disappearance of shadow detail with that film
under similar circumstances:

Despite these experiments in 50 speed films I'm still very much a Sensia
100 photographer. Seems to work best for me.
