The reason I was interested in the 300 was the shorter barrel and not being as hard on the ears if I had to use her without ear pro. Going 556 opens up a lot more options though.

I will throw in a twist and recommend an 11" 7.62x39 built pistol. KAK and others have great parts for a build. Similar performance to a 300BO, but ammo is cheaper and more readily available.
I have an LMT 10.5 in 5.56. Runs great. Much fury and fire.
If I was to do it over again, .300 all day long from decent vendor. The ballistics are solid within realistic distances, the barrels can get shorter and you have the versatility of supers/subs. The only downside is cost, but that care and feeding differential is not that significant unless you are in the hundreds of rounds a month.
I have built and own both 5.56 and 300 in pistol form, with thousands through both in search of a good gun for things that go bang in the night. My opinion the 300 is the better for a bedside defense tool. It does not have the flash and noise of the 5.56 and it makes .30 cal holes. I do reload, so practice ammo is reasonable, yea I know not as reasonable as 5.56. I shoot the 5.56 a lot outside, I would hate to touch that trigger off in the dark and anywhere near a wall. Yes I have shot at night and it is a fireball. The 300 still throws some flame, but not anywhere near the 223 and the noise is more tolerant. I also live in the country in the middle of 15 acres of woods, and wanted a rifle caliber as opposed to a pistol caliber. Hope this is helpful, last item do not buy cheap parts if you are putting it together, you will have less headaches.
I’m leaning hard to 300bo. Now it’s just saving the money. I think I’m going either Springfield or bcm. Not sure yet.

Both good choices, personally I lean towards BCM.
Either if suppressed. If not:
Stick to 11.5 or longer for 556.
Or 7-9” 300blk. Subs will be a bit quieter (more like pcc/pistol report), and some of the sub loads offer better term ballistics than pistols. Supers would be the best for ballistics but louder.
I went with 11.5 556 and silencer.
