I would put mp, sig, and cz in the top. I have never used, nor known anyone that used an XD, hk or FN so I cant opine.
I had a cz for a few years, and sold it as I prefer striker and am better with my m&p, (and glocks), and support is better(holsters, etc), I got sick of having to hunt for, and or modify stuff I wanted and cz didn't make the gun I wanted at the time.
That said, I ran the thing hard while I had it and never had a problem other than mag issues of modified mags. If you want a hammer 9mm, I always suggest cz converted to SAO. Low price, reliable, durable, and accurate with a decent amount of support.
Sigs are nice, but I hate the way they shoot, and I have no reason or desire to convert myself.
Taurus, khar, and and ruger are 2nd tier. I know people with Taurus and hkar, have shot both and the owners had problems, I was not surprised. My one friend had a ruger p89 (p98?), and while its a great budget gun (reliable?) Id did not seem durable for high round counts, was not accurate, had terrible recoil characteristics(maybe personal), and had 0 support worth talking about. The worst thing was the ergos, and I would put beretta 92 in 2nd tier for this reason. A non-safety mounted slide version would be bumped to the top.
