From my research, and according to Molon's accuracy report (
https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=60877 ) on the MK 318, you will only get about 3 moa out of that load. I would suspect that you would have better accuracy with the 556FBIT3.
In terms of barrier performance, Doc says that the 556FBIT3 is the best barrier round ever made.
What it really will come down to is how much you want to stockpile, if you can afford it, and is the performace of the 556FBIT3 (ballistics AND accuracy) so much better as to justify spending twice as much on that than the MK 318.
I am personally deciding between the Speer 24448 and the MK 318. From what I can tell, the Speer can be had for about $4 more per 20 rd box, but the accuracy and ballistics are better than the MK 318. The fact that the Speer is .223 vs the 5.56 MK 318 is negated due to how the rounds are supposed to work (expansion vs. fragmentation). I personally think the extra money may be worth it....
