It will certainly be interesting. Throughout the McLaren years Honda were intimating that the packaging in the McLaren wasn't doing them any favours towards reliability.
Renault have intimated the same thing with regards to Red Bull, and certainly Red Bull have had more failures than both McLaren and Renault this year running supposedly the same power unit.
My gut says Honda will have the edge on Renault from a performance perspective. Reliability might be a bigger issue though, with Red Bull wanting to run them harder than perhaps Honda might be comfortable with.
Roll on March. We'll get very little useful info from pre-season testing (as usual).
