In similar sized engines like the Cat C-7 vs the ISC, I would take the Cummins. When it comes to the Cat C-7 vs the Cummins ISB, I would definitely by the Cat. It's a well built engine and is definitely more powerful.
Just make sure what transmission the two have. The Cat should be mated to the Allison 3000, but the smaller ISB might be mated to the Allison 2500. The Allison 2500 would always be a deal breaker because you can never uprate the power on the engine because the trans is maxed out at torque and HP.
