Hence why I was originally considering a Ruger or one of the newer S&W's known for their durability. That's their current claim to fame.
In reality it'll spend most of its time shooting .38, .38 plus P, and regular .357 loads. I just like to have beef and the security of knowing it's got the strength and durability to handle the bigger/hotter stuff.

I'm not sure what the difference is between loads you "cook up" and "regular .357 loads".
I trust you are an intelligent person and know enough to never exceed the maximum loads
published by a recognized, reputable, reliable source. Naturally, "some guy on the internet" does not meet these qualifications.
The M28 will handle any load that does not exceed SAAMI specs.
