Personally, I think the .357 Magnum is probably the best duty round available, with the 10mm a close second, with the .357 Sig a distant third.

It's no doubt a great round, it's just lost its badass factor. Since .357 Magnums are now in all handguns of all sizes, it no longer holds the intimidation factor it used to have, especially if it's coming out of a little snubby.
.44 Magnum still holds some respects, mainly because of its Dirty Harry fame. While much bigger rounds succeed it now, it still enters the realm of "this will destroy you", which for some reason the .357 doesn't have (even though it's effectiveness is pretty damn close).
