You have your sights set on a couple of good guns.The Smith is a fine gun no doubt.My preference is the Ruger Redhawk and the Super Redhawk's.For a 44 mag I would choose the Redhawk over the SRH and the Smith.The SRH is quite heavy. The Redhawk weighs less and is very capable of handling hot 44 Mag loads.If you want to increase your power get the SRH chambered in 454 Casull. In the Casull you can shoot the 45 Colt.The Redhawk is available with scope rings. The SRH the scope rings are standard.My opinion the Ruger's are allot stronger then the Smith's and will hold up better shooting hot loads.
