Are you planning on hunting with a rifle and then planning on also carrying one of those very heavy revolvers? I'm sure the AK guys will check in here but having hunted western AK and walking over that real estate in hip waders I can tell you neither of the first choices would get a thought.
If you are determined to have a handgun for ambling around camp I'd take your last choice but it's almost as easy to always have your rifle which is a much better weapon anyway.
Of course I presumed a lot as you gave few details as to the "what, the where, and the how." For example, if fishing a lot with bears as close company along brush shrouded streams would be very different than hunting caribou in higher and much more open country.
