That being said you can have all the power in the world but if it isn't comfortable for you to shoot it does no good..if you can shoot them before you buy I would recommend it to see which recoil allows you to get a follow up shot off accurately the quickest

Have you looked at the ballistics data on modern 9mm rounds? Penetration and expansion rates are almost identical to the 40 and 45 now. A lot of law enforcement uunits are switching to the 9. More rounds, less recoil, quicker target acquisition between rounds, and practically identical performance. The whole 9mm don't have stopping power is an outdated assumption.
