Purely based on velocity, bullet weight, and resultant kinetic energy I like the 40 S&W; higher velocity than a 45 if you need to shoot thru thick clothing, your couch that the BG ducked behind, etc; a heavier but slightly slower bullet than a 9mm to avoid over penetration while still carrying equivalent energy to a comprable 45 ACP load. I think it's the perfect blend of velocity, weight, and initial bullet diameter. It helps that I shoot my 40 cal Glock well.
Outside of what I said above carry what you shoot best; I've been looking at 9mm myself for the savings on practice ammo.
