Abstract	The linac for ISAC-II comprises twenty cavities of medium beta (β=5.8 and 7.1%) quarter wave cavities now in the installation phase. A second stage will see the installation of  20 MV of high beta quarter wave cavities ( 10.4%). The cavity structure choice depends on the efficiency of operation, cost, stability, beam dynamics and schedule. Two main cavity types are considered; a low frequency 106 MHz option and a high frequency 141 MHz cavity. We compare and contrast the cavity choices.
