Do NOT buy an S&W K frame square butt, unless you try it out dry-firing in SA & DA both. There is no guarantee that you can get ANY grips that will make that gun fit your hand, although Rogers/Safariland may come close. More likely you would have to modify the gun to round butt, which is not usually a very convenient or fully satisfactory solution.
A round-butt K frame is a whole 'nother story, and is probably the best choice. A Diamondback with the right grips (perhaps Pachmayr Presentation small, or Detective Special grips and a Tyler grip adapter, or maybe even the stock DB grips) is also a very nice gun, but usually a bit expensive these days.
Don't know much about Rugers, but they are certainly a possibility.
