I had the 442-2 and while light weight, found it was pretty brutal to practice with regularly to maintain adequate performance.
Replaced it with a 649-2 that now fills the role of EDC and makes practice enjoyable.
Wife has a Ruger SP 101 that was inherited and primarily fills the role of a nightstand gun for her. The Ruger is built like a tank and has been completely reliable but as mentioned earlier, has a heavier trigger pull (at least in hers)
Just bought the kid a SW 66-2 snub that has the smooth SW trigger I'm used to and is only slightly larger / heavier than the Ruger and adds 1 round.
I still prefer the 649 for carry and practice but I don't think you could go wrong with any you mentioned.
