The 512x384 models are Macintosh LC adjacent, so the original LC monitor (the LC itself can do 640x480), or the Colour Classics. AFAIK it was partly in order to making the LC work better with the Apple IIe card (although the IIe software uses a 560x384 mode).

A Hercules card, whilst nice does suffer from the same non-square pixels issue as the Lisa, so not as nice for creating a GUI.

Nice, that's line doubled from the //e's 560x192 and would probably look crisp.
