Clearly the .280 is far better, because I've had one since 1985, and haven't had an '06 since about 1982. That evidence is as good as you will get from anyone supporting either cartridge, no matter what anyone says... wink.

Buy whichever rifle in either caliber that you like and go hunting...it will utterly matter not at all...
