From a "carry" point of view, I prefer the way the M94 Winchester carries in the hand without the protrusion for the lever, the general slimness of the rifle, and its excellent handling. The rifle is a natural pointer for me. To my eye, it is the better looking of the two.
The practical side of me really appreciates how the 336 lends itself to detailed disassembly. In my experience, the Marlins have also been, on average, more accurate than their Winchester counterpart.
