I am going with the .357 Mag., in both 125 and 158 grain HP. I would choose it first. I fired into an old washer once, to see what would happen; I stood to the side and fired. The bullet ripped out of there and tore a gash with each shot. Each was about as long and wide as the top half of my thumb.
I have used it to stop a dog: and it strikes like lightening.
Even so, I have been back and forth on this, because those are my favorite calibers.
I have seen a .45 FMJ stopped by a coffee can, I shot it and the bullet struck the rim of the can.
In praise of the .45, let me add that the can flipped into the air at least knee high. It acted like it did not know which way to turn first. In more praise, I have fired 185grain Remington +P's in my .45 and I love that round: It is one of my favorite loads.
