Favorites aside, I don't know that there really is any single "best" choice in 9mm. I would be comfortable with any of the modern JHP SD loads from any of the major manufacturers.
That's not always the case with hollow points. One of the main problems with early 147gr loads was over penetration because the bullets were moving too slowly to reliably expand.
I'll chime in with a comment on the Glazers. I used to keep my "house gun" loaded with then because I was concerned about wall penetration (I live in a townhouse with neighbors just the other side of an interior wall in both sides). As time wheat on though I began to read more and more about failures of Glazers to stop assailants. They may make nasty surface wounds but the don't have the penetration (12-16 inches in ballistic gel) that is generally considered ideal these days. I think they still have a place but only on situations where over penetration is you first and foremost concern.

I would agree with you in the subject of the safety slugs, but that is why no matter what I do, will have alternating hollow points. I'm looking for the highest possible carnage with the maximum safety, which is kind of hard to balance. I don't have an issue capping anyone who disregards my life, or that of my family's. A lot of people say this, but I have no issue with someone bleeding out on my floor, and not loosing any sleep later. If you attack me, you are declaring war, and I will respond with as much force as I can devote; especially when it comes to protecting myself or my family.
