Yeah, but you don't carry a DE.  You haul it around. 
 
But having too choose between the two?  (not as a carry weapon), I would take the Desert Eagle. but then I would up it to a .44 Magnum.

Both guns wouldn't be that easy to conceal or pull out of a IWB holster. Any reason why you don't like striker fired pistols?

Like everyone said and I agree they are really big and heavy to carry. But hey if you can deal with the size and weight constraints enjoy it. But for which gun to choose I would say get them both. They are really cool guns to enjoy and certainly will get the job done for sure. Now when I set aside my love affair of guns and think logically about which gun to get, personally I would go with the S&W. First of course is because the S&W cost less. Second is that the rest of the money you can save from not buying the DE you can spend on ammo to go train and of course have fun. Third reason is that the S&W is a lot lighter and the overall length is shorter than the DE in which both of these factors will lead to easier carry. But if your recoil sensitive the DE will be a better choice do to it being heavier. Last but not the least reason is S&W has good customer service just in case if anything goes wrong. The Yankee Marshal (yeah I know weird name) actually recently done a video of S&W customer service. Like he said in his video you be the judge if they have good service or not.
 
By the way have you seen this DE .357? Its the L5 model which is 1 and half pounds lighter and more compacted than the DE .357 you have linked. This one will be a lot easier to carry as well.

I am a revolver fan.  I used to have a really nice .357 Mag revolver, blued with wood grips, that I sadly had to sell a few years ago and really regret it.

In .357?
 
Get a Chiappa Rhino.
 
In .44 or .50 AE? Get the Desert Eagle. A Deseret Eagle in .375 is weaksauce.
 
Not a fan of S&W old man guns.

Doubles
My vote goes for the .357. I've always been a fan.
 
If you want a big stinking revolver to carry around you should get "The Judge" which can double as a home protection weapon :D
