I think Mr. Taylor knows more about LR rifles than I ever will, so I'll defer to him... I'm just saying that Mr. Demi-God LLC guy seems to know a few things too, so I listen to him carefully as well.
If you're rich and can re-barrel every 6 months to a year, then by all means, get a .26 Nosler, 7mm RUM, or .300 / .338 buttstomper mag. Particularly if you actually *like* recoil - some people do apparently.
If you're dirt poor and will likely never ever be able to re-barrel, yet you still shoot a lot -- and/or you shoot factory ammo only (a very unlikely combination of circumstances, seems to me; the frugal types tend to relaod), the .308 seems like an excellent choice.
But most of us are in between those two extremes, so gaining a little more BC-Vel / 1-2 punch for slightly less bbl life makes more sense, particular when recoil is *less*, not more. Hence the .260 (& similar) appeal.
