Either or would be just fine.
I've shot more coyotes than I can remember, with a pretty good mix of firearms. I have not shot many at all with the .357 mag (maybe five or six) because I hardly ever carry one in the field. In my early days, I always used the Speer 158 grain soft point or hollow point. I'm pretty sure a few of those guys must have fallen to one or the other of those. I never remember having any sort of difficulty, and this would have been out of a 7 1/2" Virginian Dragoon single action. Your Marlin will speed them along on their way much faster, so they should be even more effective.
