Well, the answer is obvious. MY radio is the best! L M A O !!!
Stick with the Grant xl, if you got the $$$$ The 2510 is a GREAT SSB rig as well
But MINE is the best

My dad and I just bought a Galaxy 2547.It worked for about
a 1/2 a day.All the udden it just upped and quit.

there are several parameters to consider when determining the performance of a receiver but the two most commonly referred to are receiver sensitivity and selectivity.
if we restrict the answer to cb/10m rigs then in these respects there are only 5 that come to mind....
Uniden Cobra 148GTL
Uniden Grant LT
Uniden Grant XL
Selectivity AM: 6dB @ 3KHz, 50dB @ 9KHz.
Selectivity SSB: 6dB @ 1.1KHz, 60dB @ 2.3KHz.
two other rigs with receivers that met or exceeded these specifications were:
Uniden HTX-100
Stoner Pro 40
somewhere i have a color filter bandpass curve of the receiver in the HTX-100 in comparison to the HR-2510....if i can find it i'll post it. needless to say, multiband export models don't come close in the selectivity department. you'll notice that none of the models listed are of the multi-band type. there's a reason for that.
as you can see the selectivity in the 2510 receiver is as broad as a barn door when compared to the receiver in the HTX-100.

You know son watcher, I had a lot of fun with my old washington, I had it set up as my sideband rig and I had a Cobra 2000 set up at like 4000% modulation for my local AM rig. If I had known then what I know now, but what the hell, Vegas was Vegas then and I had a great time trashing truck drivers and yelling SCHWATT!! like a thousand times a night.
I seriously thank Freecell (Jack) for slapping me around and getting me educated on radio, and if Slick Willie is out there, If you want to sell me back that MINT washington, I've got cash........But you can keep the tweety bird and the copycat/turbo board, I don't need them anymore.

Typical, you only tell half the story. And what is that "1" supposed to mean on your Y-axis? Is that like some normalized plot or something?
And don't forget, there is a difference between a specification and actual performance.
uniden is telling the story, not me. see, it says Uniden Crystal Filter Response, not freecell crystal filter response.
even without test equipment, if you ever listened to the two side by side on the same frequency you would conclude that the difference in performance is accurately depicted by the specifications presented.
if you're looking for clues to properly interpret the information presented you don't have to look any further than back to the receiver selectivity specifications that i posted previously regarding the uniden 148 & similar chassis to determine how that filter response graph is to be read. lessons are extra.
and someone mentioned the lincoln. just substitute the lincoln for the 2510 and look at the graph again.

I doubt that is a graph presented by uniden. Looks like something a high school student created.
Anyway, you say there are two common parameters, which I agree with, you only present one.
sensitivity is of great importance and if your radio is deaf, who cares how selective it is.
I did enough s x s test with a 959 and 148 to conclude that the that particular 959 was more sensitive than the 148 and I could just hear more with the 959 that the 148 could not hear. but the 959 had more noise.

The graph was created by this guy, and he explains what he was testing in detail:
