I like the Corbon 185 +p rounds for the 45. acp. and for the .40 S&W I like both the federal 155 grain hyda shoks and Corbon 165 grain JHP's for self defense. Both are very effective rounds for there calibers and will work very good in self defense situations.
Only have .45 handguns, but shoot 230gr Rem GS out of them with great results. Always feed & it's an accurate, relatively low-flash round in both my 4" & 5" 1911's.
Federal Hyda shoks 155 gain FPS 1140/ FPE 447 isn't that bad overall. Average penetration is 12 inches.
It's the top rated one stop round right now for self defense handguns. I admit I don't believe in the one stop theory totally, but the real world numbers on the .40 S&W federal 155 grain hydra shok JHP for the .40 S&W have been impression.

I'm still undecided on what I'll ultimatley use in my .45 short, but if you don't mind "reloads" I've heard good things about these .45ammo, haven't had a chance to try em' myself yet, but am planing on doing so.
I'd also like to try the Corbon Pow R Ball, but it's kinda on the pricey side. So far though I like the federal efmj's, the rem gold sabers (which are available just about every where) and the speer gold dot's were ok as well.
The percentage is a "one shot stop". I know nothing about this site or the reliability of their data, but it was interesting reading. They have this type of info for a number of calibers. Here's the link to the page:
