Remember, advice is worth what you pay for it... and you now have gotten just about every opinion you could need or want!
I have both a .38 Super (all stainless steel on a 1911 platform) and various .357 Mags. I carried a Model-66 .357 Mag on my belt, under a suit coat for years, in an earlier career.
Now I carry the .38 Super. Easier to carry, slimmer pistol and I like the cartridge. The bottom line is, I wouldn't wanna be standing in front of the business end of either of them.
Carry what you're comfortable with. You said you'll reload for it, so it's not a factor that you can't walk into a Wal-Mart and buy a box of .38 Super.
