I vote for a round chambered however when first carrying and you are nervous about this do not chamber for a couple of months until you are convinced the gun will not spontaneously combust. After you are confident always keep a round chambered. Having to chamber a round and being slow about it could be the last thing you ever do.
I have a Bersa 9HC with a decocker/safety. When activating the decocker it places a block in front of the hammer so the weapon will not discharge. Test this at the range until you are comfortable with it. My carry piece (a P-11 Kel Tec) has no safety. Its a long DA trigger pull similar to many revolvers that are safely carried.

Re: To chamber or not to chamber
If you are asking this question it indicates you need more range time and experience with your weapon. with experience comes confidence. Do not push it until you are ready.
My favorite carry piece is a Kel Tec P-11. It has no safety. double Action only with a long difficult trigger pull. carried in a holster that protects the trigger from accidents.
Someone once said as fast as you can chamber a round it could be the rest of your life.
