I think a model 28 would do better.
How would a model 28 "do better"? A Model 28 is chambered in .357 Magnum, and is of course capable of shooting .38 Special ammunition, but how would it "do better" with the same ammo that the OP was asking about? If you're saying that there would be better results (penetration) if the user was shooting .357 Magnum ammunition from a Model 28, then there might be slightly better performance in my opinion, but I wouldn't think it would be substantially better.
