Hey,
I personally wouldn't pick any of those. If you only consider the specs, the only advantage of the p7700 over the G9 is the video. Sensor size is identical, which is one of the most important elements when buying a camera.
I'm currently using a G9 too, and the only "real" upgrade would be going 4/3, mirror less or DSLR. I'm going DSLR but 4/3 would be a cheaper option in case you are on a tight budget....
Good luck
Ben

First of all, what is your budget if I may ask? 
I would try and see if you can add a little bit extra to your budget and buy a 4/3 like the Olympus e-pl3 Olympus PT-EP05L Underwater Housing Review for the E-PL3 | Wex Photographic
If its too expensive for you, try to find a decent second hand one. Check the classifieds on Scubaboard and other websites. Its a really good camera....
Are you currently using an external strobe? If not, I would invest in that first....
Cheers,
Ben
