If you do decide to go with a 360, you should practice with what you intend on carrying. So many times I hear people say, "just fire off 5 rounds to get the feel of the .357". I doubt that a cylinder per session is going to familiarize you with such a potent round, unless you practice every day. I also never understood the 4 rounds of .38 and one .357 method but to each their own. If people don't intend on carrying the .357's, why spend the extra money?
As for the frame strength, I haven't anything about cracked frames on the .357's Airlites but I have seen and heard a few about the .44 mags.
