Both are great cartridges. Both are relatively cheap to buy for. Head down to the store you'll be shopping at and compare prices and selection between the two. Regular ammo for the 308 is cheap enough I wouldn't bother using the surplus stuff as I would always have the rifle sighted in for ammo that will work on game. One difference between the cartridges is that the 308 comes in a shorter action. Handle rifles in each caliber and you might find one that balances and feels better to you, and if that happens it make the decision easier.
