I think either can work, I just feel an AR15 is a better platform for the following reasons, Optics, Long term ammo availability, Better range for aimed fire, and lighter ammunition.

It is a better choice IMHO. However, there is NOTHING wrong with an AK platform choice. I know some SHTF groups believe in commonality of weapons, I don't. I actually think small groups are better off with mixed weapon types.

I truly believe long term, .308x51 is the best round. Ask yourself this, if your opponents are armed with AK's and AR's, wouldn't you rather be armed with a .308 battle rifle? Cover negating, long range, hard hitting, superior firepower. In a true SHTF you will not be able to call upon heavy weapons to help your group. Be better armed than those you will face.
