I have both as well. I would use the 25-06 for antelope and its a toss-up for deer. Either will handle everything you mentioned. The 7mm-08 will handle some elk hunting as well.
That sums it up pretty good.

25.06 = lighter bullets - flatter shooting
7-08 = heavier bullets - more down range energy

About equal for deer sized game. Smaller than deer 25.06 best. Larger than deer 7-08 best.
