Since both rounds amount to a mere pin prick on a grizzly bear...
... I will choose the one that penetrates the deepest, and that is the .357/180gr hands down. This load will out penetrate the .44mag/240gr; the .44 SPL isn't even in the running. No pistol wound channel diameter will matter on these big bruins; you must perforate or break something vital with the bullet itself. "Shocking power" is non-existent in this scenario.
If I were worried about 2-legged critters with the odd black bear thrown in, then sure I'd go .44 SPL.
I know this thread is a bit aged, but it seemed a realistic word on penetration was in order.
