between those calibers, the .243 is the best bet for range and killing power.
I use a 6mm Rem myself (similar to the .243) and the last 3 deer have been one shot kills, 2 fell in thier tracks, and my mulie buck this fall (about 200-225lbs on the hoof) took 2 steps then fell over.
Use a good bullet and any shot to the boiler room will produce a kill.
Oh and I have had good blood trails with it when neede, all shots have been through & through.
