Depends on what you want.

Except for the 7mm RM, hose cartridge kick a LOT more than the the 7mm PRC, because they burn a LOT more powder. The 7mm PRC's recoil is more moderate, and because of the excellent BC of Hornady's 180 ELD bullet result in very good downrange energy, plus less wind-drift.

I dunno what you mean by "better choice," but also don't know what you hunt. However, will not that cartridges that kick harder don't necessarily kill "better."

Will also note that Remington chambers the 7mm PRC is their newest 700s.
