Both are great. I own a few .308s and a few more .30-06s and shoot them when I have time. But, when it's time for serious hunting, I grab a .300 Mag. I have a lot fewer .300s than .308/.30-06 rifles because my .300s are serious hunting rifles. I can't tell that the increase in recoil affects my shooting because they are all three in a similar category to me and I don't notice a difference in shooting style until .338 and up. Regarding a choice between the two, I would go .30-06 over .308, though superstitiously the .30-06 has always seemed unlucky to me. All that is me and you may be different so make your choice and roll with it. There is not a bad option here.
Edit to add, I just realized which forum this is and am not a gunwriter. My mistake.
