Just wanna see your thoughts on what you think take more training/effort to do and what is a more notable performance.

Well since a 9 minute 800 meters does not even qualify as a brisk walk, I would go with the sub 2 800 meters.
agreed.
But if the question was supposed to be "sub-2 800m or sub-9 3200m?" The 3200, most definitely.
Or if the question was supposed to be "sub-2 800m or sub-9 3k?" (which would make the most sense), then probably the 800m though it would be close (2:00 800m ~ 9:00-9:05 3k IMO).
Assuming you mean the 2-mile, I'd say definitely the sub 9:00. Can't every sub 9:00 guy run sub 2:00?
sub 9 in swimming is hard. But it is doable once you start cruising at 1.15 - 1.20 per 100 meter pace and can do 30's for 50 meter reps.
I know lots of people who could run sub 2 in the 800 but could not go sub 9 in the 3200

no, not wilson kipsang. kipsang can probably go 8:30 in the 2 mile but he can only run 1:31 in the 600! (2:04ish)
I guarantee you that Wilson Kipsang can run sub 2 in the 800 and faster than 1:31 in the 600
