If you have a choice between le or hme, I would go with hme. It is a newer interface. It can support 100MB as well as 10MB; also half duplex or full duplex. The old le card is only 10MB half duplex.
However, you did say "must". Understand that you're not constrained to using the hme card. You do have a choice here. So the real answer to which you "must" use is, I guess, neither.

BE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BE(4)
NAME
be -- SPARC Fast Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
qec* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
be* at qec?
DESCRIPTION
The be interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s (half duplex only) Ethernet networks. The be is found on the Sun 10/100 Mbit Eth-
ernet boards (Sun part number SUNW,501-2450).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The be interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
The be is not capable of link autonegotiation, so a media type must be specified with ifconfig(8). The supported media types are:
media 100baseTX
Use 100Mbps, half duplex
media 10baseT
Use 10Mbps, half duplex
SEE ALSO
arp(4), ifmedia(4), inet(4), intro(4), netintro(4), sbus(4), ifconfig(8)
HISTORY
Support for the be first appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
