For cost purposes I'd recommend .38 Special. (It's what I did and I don't regret it).
If you must be "authentic" then .45 LC
Regardless do the same caliber for your pistols and rifle and it'll save you a lot of headaches. Whatever you do don't do something like .45 for pistols and .44 for rifles or whatever, that's an accident actively looking to happen.
PM me if you have other questions and I'll try and answer.
