I have the Great plains flintlock in .50. I had the same dilema you have now, but decided on the .50 because of availability of .490 round balls. The real problem I had was finding a dealer in my area that sold black powder, I found 3 shops within 60 miles of me that sold black powder, and all 3 of them were sold out of ffffg and ffg for a couple of weeks when I wanted to shoot.

I forgot to mention, I really like the rifle alot.
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
