One thing about the .308 is that you can always find it (along with .30-'06, .30-30, 7.62x39, .270, .243, and 5.56/.223 in any store with more than five or six centerfire rifle calibers. You can also get bulk quantities of cheaper surplus ammo for it as well.
If you plan to reload, an oddball or wildcat round is not a bad idea.
Just my .02, YMMV.

This is also part of my thinking, if I forget my ammo, or run short I always stop at a store, anywhere in the USA and pick up .300 WM.
