I’m not sure how a rechamber to any of them is actually going to positively affect resale. In all honesty, if resale were a concern, I would think your best bet would be to rebarrel to seven PRC. My guess is resale is not much of a motivating factor for you, however.

That's my happy place, within the same vein! There’s quite a few reasons they call it the 7x300 Practical ! Ha My 1885 7 Rmag Stretched out to 7 STW wasn’t accurate enough to really make use of the extra velocity, If any. So off it went, now I see why. 7x300 might’ve been a great choice. I think a lot of it is about the throating.

7STW. Brass can be found if it won't be a high-volume shooter. If you're going to be shooting it a lot and are worried about brass, go 7x300win.

7STW…really bad choice. No brass, no data with new powders, no dies, no factory ammo, AND a 3.6” mag box isn’t long enough for new bullets.
28 Nosler…brass hard to find and expensive when you do, plus you will need to “adjust” the action’s rails, follower etc with no guarantees that it will work as well as it does currently. No availability of any factory ammo.
7 PRC…unknown future, no brass, less powder capacity than what you currently have. Can’t rechamber current barrel. I realize you aren’t considering that one but it was mentioned.
7 RM…popular, widely available, needs to have the throat extended nothing more. BINGO! Just stock up on components and wear out the barrel. 7 Mashburn...the old 24HCF darling. Huge supply of 300 Win Mag brass and easy to resize from what I understand. 7mm Magnum +P

I never found my 7mm RMs wanting. I am in the process of converting an M70 Classic to 308 Norma Magnum. I don't need two 7mm RMs.
I have another M70 Classic being rebuilt as a 280 AI. Lighter weight for hunting Coues deer in AZ and antelope in NM.
Horses for courses.

Whichever you can get great brass for. Ultimately it’s hard to whoop the plain old 7 Rem…. Unless you want a 7 Mashburn Super…. Then, ream away  Dang it Scotty - you had to bring up the Mashburn. Hahaha. I’d almost forgotten that I need to follow up with Hillbilly.

No brass for the STW is total BS, you can use 8mm mag, 300 H&H, 300 Bee, etc.
If your going through hell, keep on going, don't look back, If your scared don't show it.
You might get out b'fore the devil even knows your there.
