I would get more hooks before either - mainly as I don't want need Griffons (I'd take new Y's though) and am dead-set against the 407 as the RCAF already divested that capability with the Kiowa - and I don't think the CAF has enough Pilots at this point to justify another orphan fleet.
But, as somebody pointed out, you can pack a bunch of little helicopters into a big plane and move them over long distances at a high rate of knots.
Looks as if you could get at least 6 OH-58 / CH-136 / Kiowa / Jet Rangers / ARH-70 into a C17. Each with 14 APKWS (2x 70mm).
Something's better than nothing.
