Sport Pistol, N320, IMR Target and Titegroup for mild to competition loads.
W231, W244, WSF, N340, CFE Pistol for more than mild loads.
 
WSF is my current favorite, works well mid to high, not as much vel on top as say BE86 but works better for lighter loads.
I also like CFE-P, N330, Silhouette, Sport Pistol

Lots of powders work well in 9mm.
Are you after full power loads, 125PF loads for matches or plinking?
 
My wife shoots the lion(esses)? share of the 9mm in our house. She likes Blue Dot, Power Pistol and Unique in no particular order. She started shooting 124s & recently is changing up to 147s.
 
I have used a half dozen appropriate powders, but my "Just in Case" loads use Universal with a 124 gr. JHP at a hair over 1,000 fps.
 
N340, Titegroup or W231; powder depends on bullet type and use.

BE-86 for overall, Sport Pistol for low recoil plinking, and Blue Dot for SD loads. And I've settled on RMR's 124 JHP MPR.
 
BE-86 for full power loads, CFE-P for high mid to full power loads with some bullets, Sport Pistol for target work and steel challenge where lower power loads are called for. Unique and W231 for fun. So many combinations so little time!
 
W231 works well for me and is a favorite of many. Lately Sport Pistol for range practice behind 124gr RMR FMJRN.

Something for self defense and fmj for target shooting.
 
Ilike Sport Pistol or N-320 for plinkers at 1050ish from a 5" barrel.

I like Silhouette for full power, but a lot of powders work well. For something in between N-330 is good stuff.
 
I shoot mostly 124/125gr bullets in the 9mm.

I use mostly W231 but when my supply of W231 is exhausted I think I'm switching to W244.

For more serious work I was using HS-6 but switching to W572 soon.
