A lot will depend on your shooting interests.
For example, punching paper and dirt clods out to a few hundred yards will be well-served with any of the three: .223, ARC, or Grendel.
The ARC will likely hit a little bit more reliably past 600 yards but the Grendel can do very well in all but the most serious competitions.
Large deer and elk-size animals are best harvested with the heavier bullets the Grendel can spit out.
The ARC and .223 overlap in the small furry creature department but harvest them no more reliably than can be done with the Grendel.
In other words, the Grendel is preferred for all-round shooting even though the ARC can beat it in some areas.
Your ultimate decision will therefore boil down to the best fit for the classes of shooting you plan to to do or less tangible things like preferences for blondes, brunets, brains or brawn..
