Chap - Maybe it would be better or easier to pick a bullet if you listed the bullets across the top of a page. Then under each bullet, write down the assets and flaws for each one. Then the one that has the most assets and least flaws for your given criteria would be the one you pick.
Examples of assets: Accuracy, penetration, weight retention, etc.
Examples of flaws: Fragmenting, poor expansion, inaccurate, etc.
Just a thought.
I think this is asking for a high level of detail there won't be good agreement on. It's easy to agree on high-level stuff, but there if fair disagreement once you get to that level.
I agree with lemoyne, I think overall differences between bullets are hyped way too much.
