I am looking for good powder coated lead loads.
I’ve looked online and in my books but this is the first time loading lead and don’t have any books yet for lead loads.
I have the powders below available. Also cci magnum primers.

I've been satisfied with Missouri Bullets for a while now.

Any of your listed powders would work in most handgun loads.
 
Use the data that matches or closely matches your bullet weight and powder availability. I use jacketed data with traditionally lubed bullets for all pistol loads.
 
What bullet weight?
If available use data for a plain lubed lead bullet of the same weight,

Hodgdon Data (Titegroup)
115 GR. LRN Hodgdon Titegroup .356" 1.100" 3.9 1075 25,800 CUP 4.3 1151 30,500 CUP
125 GR. LCN Hodgdon Titegroup .356" 1.125" 3.6 1002 22,900 CUP 4 1096 30,400 CUP

Western Data (Ramshot)

Coated lead = lead, nothing special.
Look for powder company data. Get a Lyman lead bullet manual.
Use more case mouth flare and, after seating and crimping first bullet or two, pull bullets and inspect that bullet diameter hasn't changed and coating is not damaged.
 
As a powder to learn with I would pick unique. I have and shoot all three of those powders and they work well. If you have any intrest in casting yourself the lee tumble lube cone points are a wonderful place to start. Tumble lube is easy to test a few and they powder coat well also. 20200522_155625.jpg 20200522_155625.jpg
