Ruger mini 14 or mini 30?

I want an M1 style rifle, settled on a Ruger for ease to suppress, should I get a Mini 14 or Mini 30?

I have a couple .30 cal cans already, would probably get a 5.56 specific can for the mini 14, so suppressor choice isn’t an issue.

Does the mini 30 have too much recoil?

I know 5.56 would be cheaper and easier on the shoulder..
