I will take good shot placement any day over a specific round!

In NJ it's hollow point ammo no matter what euphemism you want to call it. And they are regulated the same as a handgun. Illegal except in certain specific situations. Basically at home or owned business and to and from the range.
If there is no concensus on what's best, i assume they are all good and will not be the limiting factor should you be unsuccessful in your situation. I apply this philosophy to many of life's situations.
What's the best high quality oil? They will all get the job done if used correctly. Same high quality ammo.

One thing to consider here is that you are using a 3” barrel revolver, so, your velocities developed will be similar to, and probably even lower than those of common 3” barrel “micro-9” semi-autos, such as what I carry every day (Sig P938), the Kahr PM9/CM9, etc.
In ballistics testing, velocities out of these 3” barrel handguns sometimes don’t get high enough to allow reliable expansion, which can result in overpenetration with certain rounds.
If you haven’t already, check out the video series by YouTube ballistics reviewer Shootingthebull410 on 3” barrel 9mm’s. He tests many different rounds out of the micro-9 pistols in a quest for the best self-defense rounds that meet FBI penetration standards.
I also really like TNoutdoors9’s channel.

I would think 147gr lead would do very nicely, and no fall outs over "HP" issue.
Agree, you hit him right, he is going to stay hit and the specifics of the round wont matter very much at that point.
Neat revolver. My sister carries the round butt speed six version in .357. As far as which bullet I think they'd all be just fine. I'd pick what shot best.
I like it. I have been offered A LOT of money for it. But, I always say NO.
I emphasized that in the very beginning of my post.
Of course and it goes without saying. I didn't call it out then because I'm personally not big on those rounds ( because as you said, its the placement that matters) but I generally go with the heaviest bullet regardless.I emphasized that in the very beginning of my post.
