A larger hole is never a bad thing, and I have yet to see a bigger hole cause less damage to someone.
I have also yet to see someone shoot a heavier recoiling firearm better than a lighter one. Precise placement is more important than than a a slightly larger bullet. Choose the one you can shoot the best, quickly.
Try what is called "The" test by Ken Hackathorn.
The 10-10-10 shooting drill.
Grab a a B8 center bullseye target.
The drill is 10 rounds, at 10 yards in 10 seconds.
Start from the low ready, or holster (does not really matter, just make it the same).
Max score is 100.
See how you do.
Run the drill 5 or so times with each gun, side by side and compare.
Whichever gun you shoot best, there is your answer.
It is a very good way to see where you are at performance wise.
I used to start my guys out every time I went to the range with this.
We started cold with this drill, and it was a very good indicator as to how they could perform with no warm up.
This would be a better objective answer to your inquiry rather than just random opinions, as far as I am concerned.
