I'd go 300 f/2.8 on crop, and 400 on 1.3.
You mean a 400 with a 1.4?
300 2.8 is way to expensive most likely. Depends on the dude's budget.
BTW I totally forgot about Canon bringing out the 200-400 with built in 1.4 extender.
Renting should only be a few hundred bucks, even for the 400 f/2.8.
Personally I'd rather pay a bit more than the rental price and get a 150-500 from sigma, sure the quality won't be as good, but you get to keep it.

I actually didn't read that the OP was gonna be renting. But I'll stand by what I said.
