Considering your intended use, I've had good success carrying my N-Frame 629 Classic 5" in the leather Galco hi-ride holster that S&W sells on their web site. I carry it while muzzle-loader elk hunting, and it rides well, whether hiking or just sitting under a tree. My hunting buds all carry smaller auto-loaders, so I was a little concerned about the size & weight of the .44, but it worked out very well, at least for me.

I'm not sure if an iwb would work with me comfortably. I'd think the cylinder would be uncomfortable on the hip.
