Yeah XII is going to be amazing. That being said...I actually like XI's sprite and background work as well. Especially the American alley stage.
XI, and all of the Atomiswave PS2 ports for that matter, have backgrounds and new artwork that really look so good when upscaled to 720p or higher on the PS3. The old sprites REALLY stand out, though.

any of those. I read that they have pretty sick HD sprite (sp?)
KOF XII is the one with completely redrawn sprites and HD resolution.
KOF '94 Rebout, released for the PS2 in 2004, didn't get new sprites, but instead used a filtering technique to make the sprites appear more "higher res" and got more detailed faces. The backgrounds were also all redone in 3D, with some nice effects. The end result looks pretty nice, but it also looks a little strange seeing nice-looking sprites with 1994 animation.
Here's a picture I took of the game running on a PS3, upscaled to 1080i.
