I also vote 6.8 because of availability issues but I think the Grendel is a superior cartridge.

I personally see the Grendel as a more specialized cartridge. If I was buying one, I would go with a long barrel.

Why so? I was under the impression that the Grendel was developed as an intermediate cartridge to solve the problem of the weakness of 5.56 NATO from a carbine length rifle, except without the endorsement of SOCOM that the 6.8 enjoyed. I see it as being more specialized as an all-around combat cartridge designed to perform well as a manstopper in both carbine length and full length rifles. I could be wrong though.
