Well I'll be the odd man out and pick the 243.

The 260 is a fine cartridge for bigger game but I don't think Moose is on the menu. You mentioned deer,hogs and the occasional Coyote and the 243 was made for that. It also has roughly 50% LESS recoil than the 260. Why put up with more kick when it's not needed??? This is based on the aformentioned loads; 243-100gr @ 3000fps vs 260-140gr @ 2800fps. My .02c...
