There is a difference between all of the above. In .357 thatdifference is not great, in that there is no more difference between some manufactures with the same loadings as there is between say a 2 inch and a 4 inch barrel in same make of gun. I am sure that you could find a supped up .38 +p+p that approaches a very mild .357.
I am confident that a .357 snubby will perform better shooting .357 rounds at any loading as compared to .38 rounds at a similar loading.
Do you need .357's in a snubby? That is your choice.
.38's out of a snubby have been putting down bad guys for a very long time.
The bottom line, for me, is that size is not as important as what you do with it.
