Hmmm, I have not seen any negative comments about HydraShoks.  It is a 
good round, especially in a .40 (since you want some expansion).  Lot's 
of police departments carry it.  

As for the "best round", this depends upon many things (including your 
individual gun).  The HydraShok may or may not be the "best", but I am
sure it's up there.  If it shoots accurately and reliably in your gun, 
stick with it.

The above is IMHO.  Direct flames elsewhere.
