Probably the 1070. I had one I bought new but traded it because it happened to be a lemon. The seat was comfortable, it was nimble and easy to run. The inline Bosh pump and the big cubes gave it plenty of power low down in the RPM range for part throttle jobs and it holds its RPM's well at very low engine speeds. The 1070 cab is quieter than others in that time range. The hydraulic levers and other controls are well positioned in the side console beside the seat.
The 806 is a good solid old tractor, hands down. The shifting and throttle are on the dash and steering wheel, the hydraulic levers are slightly harder to reach. I have a better feeling about the longevity of the 806. The TA is a weak spot but so Is the power shift on the 1070.
Drive both of them and see how you like the position of the levers and seat and steering wheel and brake and clutch pedals. That is the deciding factor in my opinion.
