Which would be the better round,for recoil and stopping power from the
2 1/8 barrel of my 640-1?

Absolutely correct. Think of the Speer SB and Remington GS as .38+P+ rounds loaded in .357 brass. I tested Speer SB in Perma-Gel. The test results are in the Perma-Gel Test Results thread.The Speer SB and Remington Golden Saber loads are both reduced from what would be considered 'full house' loads. But that's not to say that they're ineffective. Both have very modern projectiles, presumably attenuated to their velocities by companies that both have a sterling reputation in the field. If you or your gun shoots either of them particularly well, there's no need to look any further unless you just want to, and there is a rapidly-approaching point of diminishing returns unless you're really willing to put in the range time with higher-energy loads.
