It seems the 7mm-08 is much more popular than the .260rem. Although from case size the 260 makes more sense than the 7mm-08, although I think they're probably very close either way, and perhaps the 7mm can shoot some heavier bullets more easily.
a 6.5-284 and the old 284 seems like it would make more sense than either of these 2, or another option at least, in short action versions... vs benchrest long action types...
