I use Titegroup for all of those calibers with great satisfaction.
If you plan on WIN 231, check out HP38, they are the same thing.

W231/HP-38 for .38 Special and .45 ACP
Powder Pistol for .40 S&W and 9mm
H110/W296 for .357 Magnum (Lil'Gun for 170gr bullets and heavier)
If you like VihtaVuori powders and would like to stick with that company N105 will work well for your .357 Magnum rounds and N310 will work well for your .38 Special and .45 ACP rounds. N330 is probably better for the .40 S&W but if you want only 2 more powders give N330 a try in both .38 Special/.45 Auto and .40 S&W and N105 for your Magnum rounds but I think you will be happier with all three.
N310 has a burn rate similar to HP-38/W231 and Bullseye
N330 has a burn rate similar to AA #5, HS-6 and W540
N105 has a burn rate similar to Blue Dot, AA #7, and 2400
Powder Pistol for .40 S&W and 9mm
H110/W296 for .357 Magnum (Lil'Gun for 170gr bullets and heavier)

I have never loaded it for 38/357 but I have used Universal w/ Clays Technology for .40 S&W and .45 ACP and really like it. It meters well, is extremely clean burning and fairly cheap compared to some powders. Hodgdon's load data website lists charege for all of the calibers you specified. If I didn't have 8lbs of W231 that I bought for .45 ACP I would use Universal exclusivly.
I am in the same boat. There are alot of great powders out there. And I have heard good things about many, but I bought an 8 pound can of W231 and am only half way through it. Besides it shoots great. I have had good results and am happy with 231.

American Select gives me good velocity, accuracy, and the best standard deviation in .45 ACP and .38 Special. Alliant 2400 is an old standby for .357 Magnum.

Easy one: Ramshot True Blue! There, I've said it again! It will load all of your calibers with excellent results and with .40 S&W, I don't think you will do better. 935 grams/liter and very fine grained. There are a few that will meter as well, like AA#5 and #7, but nothing meters better.
