Anything Smith and Wesson, Colt, or Ruger should treat you very well. Can't recommend any specific model as I'm not a revolver owner. Have looked at buying a S&W 686 and Ruger Blackhawk in the past. Never heard a bad thing about the two.
357s are very versatile, can shoot light load 38 Specials for Range day, and 357 Magnum for self defense. Just make sure to practice with 357 if you plan to use it. Can also use it for hunting deer as well and is legal in a lot of the midwestern states.
I wouldn't go under a 4" barrel personally, but it's not the best for concealed carry, but I wouldn't use it as a concealed carry gun.
