357 hands down.
Better choice of ammo. Better selection of bullet weights. To top it off, it has the 38 Special option.
Finally, while a 357 from a handgun is loud, a 30 carbine is unbelievable. Ear splitting, gets your attention 6 booths down at the outdoor shooting range while wearing muffs AND plugs loud. I've only experienced it once and that was plenty.
Wear hearing protection in either case.
