Please vote only if you own a rifle chambered for one or both be it AR based or otherwise
but all gun/ammo availability issues aside, I would pick 6.5 grendel.

Go to you local gun shop and ask for each type of ammo.
I don't own either but I would like to get a 6.8 upper sometime. Maybe everyone else has a different experience, but in my experience 6.8 is more widely available than 6.5.
