In my opinion, they are very close so either would be a good choice. As you don't reload, the .44 is a better choice due to the wide choice of compatible ammunition.
I have a 29-2 I bought new and have put probably 10,000 rounds through it. Later, I fired a friend's new 57. Very impressive. If I had a do-over, I believe Id choose a 57, but I DO reload.
