Take your pick based on the game and recoil preference.
The GoldDot .452 250gr will perform great at low velocity. Expansion is nearly a guaranty even with only 70grs. The hollow point is rather deep. I really wish they offered this one with the same hp as the 300gr DeepCurl.
These have been very accurate for me in several guns and dont require heavy charges to "get er done".
The 300gr DeepDurl style hollow point expands a bit slower and drives deep. Its made for heavy 45LC +P and 454 perform levels. Its hollow point is much shallower than the 250gr. Nearly a perfect match for ML performance levels IMO.
The 300gr .451 UniCor SP (#4485 i think) is considered a practice bullet by some but might be fine if you can get enough velocity for it to expand. Ive never really compared these on media or game.
The 44cal 270gr GoldDot has got some very good reviews from Ron on the board and if your gun shoots them well it should be an awesome bullet and fly pretty flat too. If it will handle 444 Marlin velocity then it should be a good match for ML performance.
BTW if they are in Orange sabots, there is a chance the Fushions are .458 GoldDots made for 45/70 performance levels. Another good match for MLs. The 300gr HP is jacketed and the 350gr SP is a Hot-Cor aka UniCor according to Speer's website.
Basically its hard to beat any GoldDot for the money.
