How is the milsurp market these days?

In a vacuum one on one, no doubt. Garand all day every day.
German infantry squads were built around the MG. The MG was the focal point of the squad and did much of the heavy lifting. The MG 34 and 42 were designed to be quick deploying and mobile, whereas we didn't have anything substantially similar. Different army, different small arms philosophy. One to one basis, the Garand is better, but I wouldn't say it'd give me confidence facing the German army.

Me neither and thats why Id pick the carbine it still wouldn't fill me with confidence but at least id have a few more round at "my effective range" and be a little more mobile to run the **** away

I have a rather large book that the US Army put together right after the war which compiled most of the known data about the Wehrmacht into a single volume. Some of the comments about weapons like the StG44 were interesting. Basically the Army thought they were complete crap. It's interesting being able to look back on how the "assault rifle" changed small arms doctrine since then.
