CCI/Blazer can be had with Speer hollowpoint bullets... it works as well as anything I suppose. I buy Blazer once in a while for my .25... since I don't reload for that.
Fiocchi ammo isn't bad. Some loading are a little hotter than standard.
Based on my experience with Wolf rifle ammo... nope I wouldn't use that.
No experience with Magtech.

I can't speak for their 9mm, but all the Magtech .38 and .357 I've ever used was flawless. I haven't tried the premium stuff yet, just the blue-box.
I'd pick Fiocchi and PCM if by PCM you mean PMC, the stuff that's made in Korea, I think. Only because I have no experience with the others. As has been mentioned, the WWB hollowpoints are a good low budget choice. Federal makes some 'personal defense' ammo that is a little pricier. I'd use that instead any of the others.
Of course shot placement is #1 and I will admit to using WWB hollowpoints before but this thread reminds me when I have seen condoms and even home pregnancy tests at the 99cent or less store, there is just some things in life you do not want to scrimp on!

I'm a big fan of Speer Gold Dots...
You didn't list those, but luckily, CCI Blazer loads Gold Dots into many of their hollowpoint loads.
That's what I'd go for.
If you couldn't get those, PMC's Starfire loads are good stuff.

Whatever else, MUST go bang!
I've encountered a couple of hard primers with Fiochi .45 acp, so I'd not use
those, nor would I use Wolf, which is perceptably underpowered.
The others haven't failed me.
