I don't think so, sport. In ascending order (from least powerful to most powerful):The 10mm beats them both, closer to .41mag than .357
1. Double Tap .40 S&W (180-grain @ 1140) 520 fpe (4.5" barrel)
2. Double Tap 10mm (180-grain @ 1300 fps) 676 fpe (4.6" barrel)
3. Buffalo Bore .357 Magnum (180-grains @ 1375) 756 fpe (4.0" barrel)
4. Buffalo Bore .41 Magnum (170-grain @ 1551 fps) 908 fpe (4.0" barrel)
The 10mm is actually closer to the .40 S&W than the .357 Magnum is, and the .41 Magnum delivers over a third more energy than the 10mm.

Always willing to correct bad information, but I have no idea what this has to do with .45 GAP versus .40 S&W. There's not enough difference between those two to make a difference--the .45 GAP will give you a slightly larger permanent cavity, and the .40 S&W will give you a slightly higher capacity. Whatever floats your boat--frankly, I could (actuallly, am) do without both and not miss them.
