The J will be handier to carry every day, and has a wide range of commercial ammo (theoretically) available. You can carry FBI loads on the street and Buffalo Bore 357's in the woods.
The 44 is bigger to carry and has more limited commercial ammo choices.
That said, clearly you might shoot the 44 better, or handload, or have a better holster for the 44, or whatever that tips the balance.
