Which Shimano Freehub do I need for RS-80 wheels?

I'm confused because two different sites tell me two different freehubs.

One says "Shimano Ultegra WH-6700 Cassette Freehub Body - 4FP 9805"

and another "Shimano WH-RS10 Cassette Freehub Body - 4DV 9811"

Can anyone confirm which is correct?

    Shimano's TechDocs say it should be a Y4DV98120.

    Generally most Shimano freehubs are interchangeable. I've put road freehubs on MTB wheels and they work OK.

    The part list for the RS-80 (http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techd ... 800228.pdf) says that the freehub from a WH-RS10-A is the same as on the RS-80.

    There was a compatibility chart for freehubs listed by part number, but the link I had for it doesn't work any more.

    Edit: Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a whole new hub and swap the freehubs, rather than just the freehub body on its own. You can they sell the hub without the freehub on eBay.
