I would look at the 6.5x55 as well in your situation. The subtle differences between 7mm08 and 308 mean that recoil will be close enough to the same on both. The 6.5 doesn't give much away on performance in camparison to the other two calibres but the felt recoil is much more manageable for those that need less recoil. A good suppressor will help to.
