Any recommendations on who to take FIN 701 with? I have read many mixed opinions on Vines. Has anyone taken the course or heard anything about FIN 701 with Sung Kim?

Choi for FIN 701. Daewong Choi aka Joey Choi. I'm currently taking the class, and FIN is not going to be easy no matter what, but Choi's class are basically two huge powerpoints (with notes) per week and then extensive "problem sets" which are basically practice exams AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD PRACTICE. They're big, time consuming, but if you can get 100% on your practice exams without looking at your notes, you should be able to get an A on the actual exams. NO TRICKS, everything is very straightforward.

There are 5 discussion posts (200 word min), 2 case analyses (500 word min, but expect to write about 1000), and 3 exams covering 2 modules each for a total of SIX modules.

Yes, I said 6 modules. The last module spans almost 2 weeks and will probably be a bear, but it also means you can potentially finish in a week if you want to push yourself (or have a lot of free time).

Keep in mind, I am not saying the class is a cakewalk. It is a LOT OF WORK, but he truly gives you all the tools you actually need to succeed without any tricks. He has a Q&A board that is busier than even your typical assignment discussion board, there are tons of questions and he's highly responsive. No one is going to just hand you an A, but if you put in the effort in this class, you should be able to get one.

Since people are registering now, I'll write a detailed review on both Choi (well, I guess this is pretty detailed already) and Huang as soon as I get a chance, but I highly recommend both of them for FIN 701 and ACCT 701 respectively.
