For me that would be a very simple decision; the five inch S&W 627 would be chosen as a shooter. I had a five inch S&W 625 that I gave to my son and am always happy to borrow that gun. He also got the Python I bought pre-owned in 1985 as a graduation gift that I do not miss at all. A five inch N frame is a well balanced joy to shoot!
The last batches of Colt Pythons were everything but spectacular shooters and Colt has to prove in 2020 that they can still build a decent revolver.
