Perhaps you or your buddy are getting the terms mixed up. The SU4 built into the 800/900 are wireless optical slaves. Pocket Wizards are wireless radio slaves. You would use one OR the other to fire a remote SB800/900. The SU4 isn't used to control a pocket wizard or vice-versa.
I know this. My buddy knows this, too, I'm sure. I think he used to use his SB-800 in SU-4 mode with attached PW (connection via hotshoe) as off camera flash for always having the choice to decide what kinda triggering he uses best. Sometimes, in daylight, optical trigger systems are not as reliable as radio ones, so with this configuration, he can switch every time without changing the flash menu ...
But I should ask him to be sure.
