Default A Specific .30-06 Question

I know there are a bunch of bullet threads out there already, but I would like to hear opinions a very specific topic. From what I have read, most .30-06 whitetail hunters are using 150, 165, or 180 grain bullets. My question is this:

Let's say your hunting area borders a swamp. The swamp is wet making tracking difficult, so you do not want a wounded deer to enter the swamp. Your maximum shot is 100 yards. Do you feel that a larger bullet will put a lung shot deer down faster? For the sake of arguement, let's say that all 3 bullets are pointed Core-Lokt bullets. Which one would you choose?
