Ammo commonality, too -- in an infantry squad, say, you've got mags of 5.56mm ready to go if your marksman runs dry (or just can't get) Mk 262. You can do something similar with 7.62 if M118LR isn't available, by delinking MG ammo, but accuracy is going to suffer compared to green tip (or ball M80 7.62, if you can get it) since they loosen quality control some on MG ammo to get a better beaten zone downrange.
As for which one to build, I'd say it comes down to which caliber you're more interested in shooting. Both platforms, built right, will give you great accuracy.
