Default Narrowed Down

Thanks to those that responded to my last post. After some research and reading here I decided that I prefer a more traditional rifle so am looking at percussion models. I think I've narrowed it down to Lyman's Great Plains Hunter, Cabela's Traditional Hawken, and CVA's St. Louis Hawken, .50 caliber. Opinions either way would be great. Is the money saved on the non-Lyman rifles worth it? I'm also wondering, the Lyman has a 1:32 twist, can you shoot balls out of it? Not that I necessarily want to, will probably use Powerbelts, just wondering if it would be an option to try out. Thanks again for all the great information on the site.
