The math heavily supports rabbits.
Rabbits are larger, have larger litters, faster growth, better feed conversion, can breed back more frequently, have a longer healthy reproductive life, are more cold resistant and just as cheap/easy to come by and house and feed.
I love GPs, bred them for years, they are great pets, but for meat production the only reason I can think of to use them is if one couldn't get rabbits.
