They're both the same toggle link action but the 73 is easier to clear jams with the removable side covers. I'd go with whatever caliber your pistols are. If you're intending to use black powder take a hard look at the bottlenecks like 44-40 and 38-40. They're much easier to clean with bp than straight walled cases are. Cheapest route would be .38 spcl.

HH wouldn't steer you wrong. I've got one of each in 44-40 - '66 carbine & '73 short rifle. Of the two, i like the '66 best. The carbine stock mounts faster & fits better than the '73s rifle stock with crescent buttplate.
YMMV
