You might also consider a 2.75" Ruger Security Six...
If given a choice between a 2.5" model 19 and a 2.75" security six, personally I would go with the security six. Most security sixes were square butt, but if you get a stainless one, it is about an hour job to round butt it (provided the serial number isn't in the way..). The security six is a much more robust and durable gun, but still has a nice single and double action trigger, and the ejector rod stroke is a little longer. My 2.75 stainless security six started life as a square butt, but I fixed that right off. Now it is a nice round butt with a very smooth action. I really like it...
