Otherwise there isn't much of an advantage one vs the other. AR mags....sure but AK mags aren't expensive. Recoil will be relative. Some may hate it others may not mind.
I wouldn't buy a gun based on my neighbors

Here is my thought process...
With .300 a 30 round AR magazine holds 30 rounds, a 40, 40, etc.. AR parts are cheap and plentiful. It seems like I could build a carbine length gas system .300 and the only non standard part would be the barrel. I likley have accumulated parts for next to nothing to build one (less that barrel). Taper case x39 can't make it up an AR mag well reliably. (I bought the aftermath of a x39 AR the builder went all Jimi Hendrix on after too many jams.) Someone makes highly modified AR lowers that take AK mags. But while the mags are cheap, that specialty lower is not. Plus bolts have a habit of coming apart. Recoil is relative, but will be less than buckshot in a 870 or the SKS.
