I'd rather take the British 17lber myself, that thing kicked amazing arse for its caliber. But frankly there isn't much difference between the top western guns at the end of the war, they were all easily able to defeat enemy tanks at practical ranges. It was just the Russians who tended to lag behind a bit in AP abilities, and they just made up for this using bigger guns.

Amusingly enough the other day I was directly facing a Panther with my SU76, engaged in a firefight at close range (100-150m or so). I took a direct hit from his 75mm and it didn't kill me. And in return his (slightly angled) hull side took about 6 hits from my gun and all bounced off. It was somewhat surreal.
