I have to say I like the SIG the best, if feels right, fits nice in my hand even for a single stack, and I like the controls.
So the few guns I am looking at: SIG 229 in either 9mm or S&W 40, H&K P30/P30L/P2000 in 9mm or S&W 40, and the odd ball a Springfield Armory XD9.
I like the 9mm for mag size and cost of ammo, but as of late 9mm is hard to come by, and I like the extra stopping power of the 40... I suppose after my permit to purchase goes threw it will be more of a mater of whats available.
I think the XD9 would be a good carry gun then look into a SIG/HK further down the road.

SIG229's are double stack, 15 rounds if you're going 9. They're nice. Have you shot one drawing from a holster or tucked in your belt? The double action to single action is hard to get use to. Same with the P30 unless you get the model with a safety and carry it 1911 style, cocked and locked.
I have zero experience with an XD, though. If you want to try a Glock 19 (compact 9mm) you can come to where I shoot in New Hope and try it out.
Also, all of the firearms you listed aren't hard to get anymore. I was at Bills yesterday and they had all of what you mentioned.
