I'd get a 8" revolver, steel frame. Uberti is the better but more expensive choice (on the other hand, most things the Uberti has can be added to the Pietta with some machine tools, so).
It's pretty much the ideal length for a C&B revolver. The sight picture is long, the muzzle velocity is good. Adding 4" more gives marginal advantages in the above, but you pay for it with a really front-heavy gun.
If you have a store where you can try to hold and see the feel of various guns, that's pretty much ideal.
