.357 Blackhawk or .44 mag Super Blackhawk?

I have decided on a Ruger single action revolver. Which gun is more durable and accurate the .357 mag in Blackhawk or the .44 mag in Super Blackhawk? And which would be best suited for deer and hog hunting and getting rid of pests like racoons and opossums (not worried about making a mess just keeping my chickens alive) What barrel length is best. I want a shortest barrel possible for being accurate from 15-60 yards would a 7.5" barrel have anything over a 5.5" barrel for the .44 mag and what about a 6.5" barrel for the .357 mag. Would I be able to shoot as accurately because of the .44 mag recoil? I'm 6'2" and 210lbs. Which round is more accurate and more readily available at stores. I'm thinking the .44 mag would be better for hunting, but the only thing I'm worried about is shooting accurately with the recoil. I've never fired a handgun larger than a .22lr but have fired all sorts of rifles and shotguns.
