It really depends on what you are going to do with it. If its a sporting gun to go win matches at 600+ yards then go with the 6.5-284, the ballistics are far better than a .308 at range; but it comes with serious availability problems for components. But set-up correctly it is a fantastic shooting round. Just make sure you have a 1000 yard range around otherwise its dumb.
If you want a general purpose gun that you can also take to matches then get the .308 for all the reasons everyone mentioned above. You aren't going to take your 6.5 hunting.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
-- Ayn Rand, Anthem (Chapter 11)
