Best inverter hardware to run a Remy HVH250?

I have a Borg Warner/Remy HVH-250-115-DOM motor and want to build up an inverter to run it. What is the best platform that Open Inverter supports that would be a good match for this motor? it's the 400V, ~200kW version.
I really don't know the different OEM platforms and what the strengths and weaknesses of each are. All my experience to date is with aftermarket programmable inverters.

Nissan Leaf or i3 inverter might do it justice and is well hacked. Or if you can get ahold of a Tesla Inverter that should definitely pack enough punch

Ideally I would like an inverter that will be completely environmentally sealed so I discounted the the Tesla LDU since it is not just integral, but the inverter housing is welded to the drive case. I looked at the SDU and at least that inverter bolts to the motor housing so it is possible but I figured the sealing of the HV phase cables would be messy. Neither the i3 or Leaf inverters have sealed phase outputs either so I guess that's just something I will have to address.
