I know there are lots of pistol threads floating around but I can't search on my phone. As a general purpose carry round and something to have at the ranch which would you pick.

Personally I prefer the 45ACP. Same basic size as a 10mm but travels a little slower so there is less chance of over penetration. Also, you can pick up 45ACP pretty much anywhere.
If I remember what I read the FBI was the first agency to adopt the 10mm but they ran into problems with over penetration and soon switched to the 40SW.
On the lease I always carry my .357 with snake shot and a speed loader with jacketed hollow points.

you should read up on why the 10mm was chosen and why the FBI 10mm load created the 40 S&W.
