The 3db does not exist in the real world, the echoes do.  So, you think it
is acceptable that no mobile applications can receive 8VSB?

To reply to the subject line,

I would choose whichever system gave the most bits at with
the least problems with digital into digital co-channel and
adjacent channel interference.

This chooses ATSC over DVB-T.

The reason is simple. A really bad day is one in which
tropo ducting is strong. This fairly frequently causes,
where I live, bad adjacent channel interference and more
rarely co-channel. The 3 dB interference advantage
of ATSC can really help.
