I would first be asking the obvious question: what sort of events might I hope to enter, and do any of these (or the ranges on which they are shot) impose calibre or power restrictions?
That may shape your choices far more than the performance question. I know of a 600yd range I used to shoot on that won't accept anything larger than 8mm/0.323", which means the .30 RUM (for instance) is welcome but a blackpowder .38-55 is banned (stupid but not the range's problem, bureaucracy forced that on them); another is only 100yd yet sets a power limit of "nothing more powerful than .338 Lapua Magnum" but AFAIK no bore limit. And so on. It would suck to bring your new baby along and find you couldn't use it.
