hoppdoc - You're going to put quite a bit of money into getting either the 500 Jeffery or the 505 Gibbs to feed and function correctly.

But after you've gone through all that trouble - that's when a well made 50 becomes valuable.

I'm with 500 on this one.
If you plan on keeping it forever, then go wildcatting.
If you think you might ever want to sell it, then stick with one of the standard chamberings.

It will bring more money and sell more quicky on sale day.

As for bullets, most of the premium makers that make one diameter usually make the other. Cast bullets are easy to get for either.

IMO, I wouldn't let bulled selection be too big of a factor in either one.

Woodleigh makes bullets in both diameters up to 600 gr. - I promise you - nothing you ever shoot will know the difference between the two!
