Now that you clarified caliber as 45ACP, methinks that just about any of the major mfgrs. JHPs wold be fine - so long as you do your part. And understand that even the JHPs may or may not expand in humans, thus penetrating almost like ball ammo - which some think is just fine as it is.
Primary criteria, as others have said is reliability and accuracy. The "standard" suggestion is minimum of 200 rounds of exactly whatever cartridge planned for defensive carry with 0 (zero, none, nada!) malfunctions before risking your life on it.
That said, because it has one of the highest probabilities of both reliable feeding on one end and good expansion on the other, Cor-Bon Power Ball would likely be one of my top choices in .45ACP - if I could afford the first 200 rounds!
