My choice "Neither".

Get something like a 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, 7mm-08, or .308 Win. Maybe a .270 or .280.



^^^^ This.

"Spending a day on the bench" with either, as per the OP, would be right up there with getting a root canal as far as things I like to do.
I have two 6.5-284 awesome. I suggest you get a 6.5prc
