The 5.56, as with the .357, has more "pressure" when shot ... so takes a barrel made to handle it. That's all.
Ya, but there is an added (obvious) problem with the comparison as you could chamber a 5.56 in a .223...while you can't chamber a .357 Mag in a .38 Spl.

I keep going back and forth, if I'll evey buy an AR-15.

If I do, knowing what I do now, it would be a 5.56.
