For the EIR, you might start at EI 200 and work around that exposure value.

As far as HIE is concerned, you can shoot it at many exposure index values.  I
generally use EI 250 as a starting point, when metered through a #25 filter. 
As you will see, the film is quite versitile and you will get differing results
with differing exposure index values, so select the one that corresponds to
your vision.

Examples can be seen on my Web site.
