What model mosin nagant do you think is the best overall?

I'm looking to pick up a mosin nagant. They very inexpensive however I just want one. So I'm trying to figure out which one I would like the best. I like the shooting qualities associated with the 91/30 however I like the size of the M38 and the M44 nagants. Now the 91/30 Dragoons are slighter smaller than the 91/30 so I think that might give me the best of both worlds. And also the model 1959 carbines look like it might be a good compromise of length and accuracy for size and recoil. Does anyone have any info on the dragoon and Model 1959 Carbines? Which Mosin Nagant do you think is the best overall?
