Use whatever you carry...I think thats the intent of IDPA anyway. Your not going to blow through hundreds of rounds at a match so cost (at least as far as at the match goes) is not a big factor.

If you want to approach it as a game only then I'd recommend a 9mm in either glock ( the 34 is a favorite in either ssp or esp depending on the mods you make to it), or a 1911 in 9mm. The 9mm 1911 is hard to top for ESP. I usually either shoot my kimber .45 in cdp or my glock 17 or 22...all guns that I carry. Whats nice about IDPA is that you don't need to invest a lot of money to do well.
