"...must choose between Sikorsky-Lockheed Martin's CH-53 K helicopters or Boeing's CH-47 Chinook."

That is a tough choice. The IDF currently operates a fleet of older H-53D's, but don't think they have any H-47's in inventory.
Both are best-in-the-world heavy lift, although the new 53s are like the older ones in foot-print only - doubt that logistics or maintenance would be similar.
