At what I guesstimate as a home-defense distance of probably less than some thirty yards, what difference would it make regardless of bullet choice? Seems to me that most any common load would change a bad-guy's mind.

Well, as was previously known but really came to the forefront in Somalia, bullet choice did make a difference with the military's 62 gr. green tip ammo zipping right through Somali combatants, not destabilizing, making ice pick holes unless the bullets hit bone and such. The failure to expand (not designed to expand) or tumble (too stable to do so reliably) meant the rounds often did minimal damage. So bullet differences can be significant.
