Yes, a good hollowpoint is the best bet for getting a quick stop with a 9mm handgun. Some of the newer "good" hollowpoints include Federal HST, Winchester PDX1 Bonded and Ranger bonded, and Hornady Critical Defense.
The problem with rounds that don't penetrate drywall is that they don't penetrate bad guys very well either. If you are shooting for center of exposed mass, like many recommend (including myself), there is a good chance that that will include things like ribs that slow and/or deflect lighter, smaller projectiles. That is a big reason why many dislike bird shot for self defense.
