Before getting to set on one over the other,look at what you plan on useing it for and what you really need. Then look at different rifles, you'll most likely find a rifle that you really like how it feels is only availible in certain cals.
I went thru the new rifle in 300 mag thing a yr ago. There are alot of good guns to pick from, but they are not availible in every cal you might want.
If you don't reload, look at the shelves and see what is available.It is simply hard to find certain shells in some regions. Are any of your friends reloaders? You may find that the recoill takes the fun out of shooting. Being able to lighten the recoil by reloading is nice. Plus the cost savings is substancial. Even if you do reload can you find casings for each cartridge in your area.
As you may have noticed, I think there is alot more to getting a new gun than picking a cal. non of the cals you mentioned are bad, but they could be if you buy them for the wrong reason. Good luck on narrowing the selection down.
