The difference between Ranger RGT. and SF group?

[RADIO82]

Ok, this is more than likely get me a BIG ration of crap from the members but it's a question I need to ask. I am looking at reenlisting for the option to reclass into 18E, I have also looked into a option to try out for the Ranger Regt. and I am a bit confused as to which to really persue. I have done a great deal of looking into what makes them both good and bad but I need "real life" input on such things as family life in the groups as i am married with 1 son and my family is my life. I also would like to know if trying out for Rangers as a stepping stone to the groups is smart choice. A lot of senior NCOs have advised me that bypass the Regt. and try straight for the groups. I have heard that Rangers look down on prior service trying to join into their brotherhood and that if you are lucky enough to survive RIP and get to the Batts. that they try to flush you out. Looking for some truth about these bits of advice. Any inofrmation is greatly appreicated.
