I can see from the data sheets that the 1246 seems to have better ESD protection built in -- its datasheet does not ask the designer to add all those zener diodes before the inputs.
Other than that, what should be the factors based on which I should select one? I want to build an active xo circuit, which will accept a typical signal between, say 50mV and 2V, from the upstream device over a distance of 5-10 feet. The output of the line receiver will drive 2-3 opamps, maybe 3-6 kOhms of load.
