Both are good calibers, but more important than the caliber is time spent shootin. Buy your gun, set up your scope and then shot the piss out of it from any and all positions. Standing, offhand, kneeling, sitting, tween your legs...well maybe not that one. Proficiency with your shooter, I think, is what puts more animals on the ground than bullet weight, caliber, etc.
