I would go 257, for the simple reason that you have a 7mm already. As was pointed out very well above the 7-08 is a very capable hunting cartridge, but it is fairly close to your 7mag.
If you are a hand-loader 257 brass can easily be formed from 7 rem mag brass and the costs become reasonable. Have you given any thought to a 260 rem? Another great chambering that should be more popular than it is.
