Out of the calibers you listed, the 270 would be the best all around caliber. Large enough for deer and hog. Maybe a tad oversized or varmint but still acceptable. I used a 243 when I was a kid and have brought in several deer with it. Just a tad small though. 223 is way to small for consistant deer hunting. Shot placement would have to be near exact for instant kill.
