+1 for Loose Holster Dan. There is no telling what your conflict will be like. If you need to shoot through car doors, maybe a 357Sig would be best. I think the reason that LE shied away from the 45 acp was because the barrier penetration was not that great. The FBI could have gone to that instead of the 10mm 40 S&W.
You need to see what you shoot best. Maybe buy or borrow one of those shot timers they use in competitions and see how fast and accurate you are with each caliber. 5 quick rounds on the paper beats 2 on the paper and 3 who knows where.
You do have me interested in the FNX models. I am certain there is a magical gun that is better than the dozen I already own.
