Given the choices of the 3, I'd go with the S&W 642, followed closely by the coach gun.
Personally, I never really liked the looks of the hammerless snubbie as I always like to have the traditional hammer on a revolver. But I liked the fact that there was nothing to hang on your clothing. I had a 642 for a while and it was a great shooter, but ended up letting my brother have it as a CC pistol because he liked the look. I often pocket carry my S&W 637 in a #3 Uncle Mike's holster. Very easy to draw from my front jeans pocket and I've found the hammer hasn't ever hung on anything... not one time has it interfered with a draw.

I have never had a hammerless wheel gun, but I think it's a good idea. I say, forget all three of those, wait 'til November, get a S&W 29, and a shoulder holster. Feel lucky?
I'll have to go with the S&W 642 but prefer the older S&W 36 or 60(if you can find one for around the same price).
Because I prefer the model 60, I cannot back the 642.
I give my vote to the 1860 Army over the coachie.

the choice is an easy one for me...the 12ga !!!...I want to be out in the field come sept and would have the best HD weapon of the 3,,,,put some high velocity 4's or 6's in it and you wont kill your neighbor 2 doors down the street
And you wont kill the guy down your hallyway either, just make him a bloddy mess!
