I was during my active time on a special shooting range. There was some plants and other barriers. I shoot there at night with tracer ammunition with the G36. It was really amazing how much ricochets this ammunition caused. You don't see it at daylight.

Three points out of my experience with 5,56 mm and 7,62 mm weapons are, that 5,56 mm weapons are a lot of lighter to wear, that 7,62 mm weapons are more accurate, because of the greater weight of the projectile and in the end, that the lower cadence of 7,62 mm weapons makes them more usefull in the field.
In fact you didn't need bursts in most situations. But mostly it is only a waste of precious ammunition.
So I would choose in every case a 7,62 mm weapon like G3 or SR 25 over a 5,56 mm weapon.
Oh I forgot one important point. The G3 has some own weight and is longer than the G36, so if you have to use a bayonet it goes well used even through body armor.
And the G36 crashed lots of times during the training of urban warfare. Never heard something like this of the G3 and of cause it never happens me personally.
So you could use the G3 even as an elevator (with another soldier together) for one soldier in order to bring him to a higher window. G36 crashed several times.
But the optic sight of the G36 was the best I ever saw. Specially at night. If they would combine it with the G3, you would have the ultimative weapon. Imo. ;D

I think the G 36 is better:

Wow. SR-25, one of those bad boys will set you back about $5000-10000. Wish I could get my hands on one. I prefer .308, but believe 30-06 would have been the most ideal round from my readings of ballsitics test. NATO screws everything up. Many say that the 6.8 is best of both worlds between 5.56 and .308, without the bulk, yet without losing the necessary, penetrating firepower.
