Would you say what the two non-equivalent formulas are?

The formulations "c = aleph_1" and "every infinite set of reals is either countable or has the cardinality of the continuum" are not equivalent without choice. The first of these obviously implies the second, but for the other direction you need choice. I don't know whether this is what Bill had in mind.
