I guess it depends on what use you'll make of the combination.
If a DA revolver is one of your goals, then I'd recommend a used Smith Model 19, 66, or 686 over the Redhawk...but beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and I find Ruger DA revolvers clunky looking when compared to any Smith...YMMV however. Weight is a factor and I'd always go with a handgun that can be carried conveniently, and Smith's are generally a bit lighter than Ruger RH's. They (Smiths) also have a better adj. sight in my opinion. As far as strength goes, unless you're a heavier user of full house magnums over years of steady use and that with 125 gr or lighter bullets, any Smith will stand-up to ordinary usage and give you a lifetime of service. My pair of 19's, 2 model 60's, & a model 27, have several thousand rounds each with zero degradation of accuracy and tight lockup. In my opinion if there's a better, more useful .357 than the model 19, and of moderate weight, I've yet to find it...PS: all Smiths hold their value well.
If a SA is acceptable, there's no better choice than a Ruger BH (NM, Old Model, or Flat Top, they're all superb)...strong, & accurate, with adj. sights that make sighting in an easy & precision process. And those same adj. sights are plenty strong for enough for real day to day use, short of pulling fence staples! In 50+ years of using them, I've never had a problem with Ruger adj. sights...can't say that for the fixed variety.
For the carbine, I'd go with a Marlin...I prefer the JM Marlins over the current crop of Remingtons and you can find one with light to moderate wear that'll be a joy over the years. The Henry's, while hell-for-strong, are a bit heavier, especially in the brass models, but are a valid choice if that appeals to you. You can find a used JM Marlin for the same or less $ than the new Henrys, now that the "buy a Marlin 1894S hysteria" is pretty much over. Ck. gun-broker for current prices.
HTH's and hope too that you enjoy your guns. Rod
