I prefer 124gr Gold Dots. This is the original weight of the bullet, and IMO is a good mid-size load. They also run fine through all my 9mm's including Kel-Tecs.
115gr is, AIUI, a download to protect 'weaker' guns.
147gr is for greater penetration, but it's pushing the upper end of the cartridge envelope.
