gsfmiker, if you're going to eliminate the 620 b/c of the two piece barrel, you might as well eliminate the 686, as Smith and Wesson uses 2 piece barrels on all of their revolvers. I, however, wouldn't eliminate the Smith's as I have never heard of any problems with them besides what 18DAI said. And if you're going to eliminate Smith and Wesson because of the lock, then you might as well elminate Taurus also, as Taurus puts locks on all their guns.
I'd rather have a small slightly annoying lock then a warning written on the barrel stating that guns are dangerous if used incorrectly as the Ruger guns do.
I will say though that 18DAI does make a good recommendation with a used Smith 66. They are great guns.
