I've shot one of these Marlin 44 Mag lever guns and did not find the recoil to be any more noticeable than say a .410 shotgun, which is to say barely noticeable for an adult male.
On the other hand I owned a 45-70 Marlin lever gun with the scallop shaped old style butt. That gun has noticeable recoil, enough so that I hardly ever shot it because it was too painful. I don't miss that one.

The 357 probley is the most usefull, a pleasure to shoot and ammo the cheapest and easy to get. I have 92s in both 357 and 44 mag. The 44 mag in that light rifle will smack you the worst.
Short story for many reasons I recomend a 92 in .357.
