Powder Question

Unique works well in all of those applications, including .357 mag which is the most different of the bunch. Each probably has its own favorite if you want to squeeze the last drop of performance out of them, but hey, you're just getting started! There's plenty of time to fine tune, and spend lots of money on multiple powders later, after you get started and figure out what you are doing. Don't get bogged down looking for ultimate optimum load in your first batch of ammo.
 
If you want milder target type loads, then Titegroup, HP-38 or Win 231 and similar powders will work well in those cartridges. If you want to up the performance level, Unique, Accurate No. 5 and Universal Clays would also be good choices. My new favorite that works in all those is Power Pistol. It isn't as adaptable at lower powder charges, but provides top or close to top performances with all the cartridges you have listed.
