Default Everybodies ideal bullet for 357mag

I have a older but like new nickel mod13-3 smith 357mag probably like 1975 model. Great little gun. I havnt' shot it much cause of the nickel. Usually put 9mm's and 44 mags, thru the workout.

Girlfriend hates the 44, hates the feel of the berretta 92FS, doesn't like my 40Glock 27 cause its too small, too much strength required to cycle rounds in my 45 auto 1911. So I broke out the 357 last year and she loves it. So I loaded her some 7.5gr HS-6 125gr XTP's 38 specials. Its a ok round that she handles well. But I was thinking I might as well relaod some 357mags thru. Whats everybodies ideal wieght? I mean I think of 240gr for 44 mag, 230gr for 45auto, I was thinkng 158gr XTP and maybe some H110 behind it? Have to make an order and considering which one to reload for.
