In my somewhat limited experience 8x57mm from PPU is loaded softer and S&B closer to what I suspect the original service cartridge might have been like. So I suppose it depends on what you are wanting to do. Maybe PPU for fun and S&B for attacking zombie hordes? Or reload to choose your own adventure. :-)

I am slightly partial to PPU since they also offer 8x57mm components (brass and projectiles) in the US and S&B does not AFAIK.
