My recommendation would be whatever number of 7206's are necessary to 
handle the interfaces you're running on those 5 VIPs :)

I used to run somewhat earlier 12.2S on a couple of dual-RSP4 7500s, and 
they weren't quite stable (periodic dCEF bugs).  IIRC, the cisco guys 
on-list used to recommend sticking with 12.0S on the 7500.
