172-182
Both good aircraft in their own right.
However the 182 (especially the earlier ones) really do what they say on the tin.
It will carry a full load and full fuel and can drag its A.... in and out of grass strips if required.
They are a safe machine and very versatile, the fuel burn may be greater but it will be carrying more for further and faster.
Pm me if you want an "operators" opinion.
If you fly behind a "six" you will like it.
