This is pretty much "personal preference" I think, but I've used both
of them (if I can count SM50s and SM120s together) and I think the
GM300 is a little better for this application. Seems to sound a little
bit better (less white noise in the recovered audio). The 1-10W GM300
makes a really good exciter when it's run low and connected to an
external amp.
In fact, if anyone wants to sell any low power VHF GM300s I'd like to
talk to you off-list :)

Form experience: commercial radios have a better
receiver than a ham radio or scanner. When you are
looking at the price of the radio the higher priced
radio generally has a better built receiver. while
there is not much difference between the GM300 and the
SM120 there would be a great difference between a
SM120 and a MTR2000. A MTR200 would work much better
in a high RF area then a SM120.
