I use Georgia Arms 230 grain Gold Dot HPs
They call them "bonded core" or some such, as they were asked to stop using the Gold Dot name on their loaded ammo, but that is what the bullets are. I have not done extensive testing. They are what I have been carrying for years in my full-size 1911 and have proven to be accurate and reliable in it. Tested them in the XDs and they were very accurate and reliable in it, so that is what I went with. Have some in it as we speak.
