havent heard that specific infinity sub.. but you can pretty much expect that 'if it has infinity written on it.. it will crap all over the sound quality of a 306c'

Given that they may have slightly different requirements for their enclosures, it's highly likely that they would sound different.
Which one would be better?
That's exactly the same as asking which is the better colour, yellow or purple?
People will have their own favourites.

As a previous dealer who was a Pioneer and Infinity reseller, we found that most people preferred the Infinity once they listened to it and if they were open to thinking outside the square.
We sold alot of Pioneer to but they were to people who only wanted to buy what they had previously heard of.

Personally, I prefer Infinity generally (see my sig below)
