HP-38 and W231 are the same powder. Olin, Winchester's parent company, makes the powder, then ships it to Hodgdon who then puts it in Hodgdon containers. HP-38 is priced less than the W231 in my area.

I think HP-38, W231, HS6, Universal Clays and Titegroup are some of the best powders for 9mm. Unique is also a good all around powder, but it tends to shoot a bit dirty for me.
