What will I gain with the 357 over the 38 in the short barrel?

Not much, the .357 needs at least a 4" barrel to take full potential of the load. You get the extra recoil, muzzle flash, noise, and slower follow up shots for only a marginally faster round.
I used to carry a S&W model 60 in .357, I sold it and picked up an older 640 in .38. Best choice I ever made. I wouldn't recommend the .357 in a snub for anyone, especially the airweight .357's.
