I shoot APS-C (for now) and have owned both the 70-300 IS USM II and the 300L f4 IS.

I primarily shoot wildlife and they have been adequate in most situations.  I visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton often and yes, a longer lens there is preferred.  I've since upgraded to the 100-400L IS II (amazing lens!).

But in regards to your question, either lens I mentioned will work well with an APS-C body.

Here's a couple of shots with both.

60D and 300L f4 IS

77D and 70-300 IS USM II
