I can get either or...just womdering what the general concensus is among the board? Availability is the first point I'm looking at-say TSHTF and ammo becomes scarce.

Also-anyone know about this cal? 5.45x39.
 
7.62x39 has been imported for quite a bit longer than 5.45, so it would be fairly safe to assume that there is more in the country at this time. Magazines are similarly priced, so that's not really a factor.

5.45 bullets have a small air pocket in the nose to make the tip bend upon impact and start the bullet yawing ASAP. Other than that, I really have no experience with it, but I kick myself for not buying a Romanian AK-74 when I had the chance.
 
Based purely on your criteria for availability... I'm guessing that .223 would be more available due to the widespread military and LE usage.
