The 50-500 is a really great lens, very sharp. It also has HSM so the focusing speed is good. Beware that it's kind of large.
You may be able to rent one from Lensrentals.com to try it out.
The 70-200 is not a bad idea as you can get those really sharp, but a 2x TC drops light and may interfere with auto-focus.
