Really, just pick a round you like and stick with it. I do believe the bonded soft points are better because of the more consistent performance through barriers. That being said, fragmenting rounds can still be very effective through barriers. We use Federal TRU 223E which is a 55 grain hollowpoint. I've got several buddies at work who have shot successfully through windshields, car doors, and windows. I've personally seen it go through a forearm and still be effective.
Like I said, I do believe the bonded soft points are better. However I'm not worried about my duty ammo be ineffective.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
I think people really overthink the 5.56 round when it cones to personal defense. Just pick a round, and place those rounds where they need to go when/if the need arises. It is a rifle round after all.
Neither is going to make a dramatic difference when placed where they belong, neither is going to make a dramatic difference when their not. Intermediate barriers aside, it’s really splitting hairs. However, since we live in an imperfect world and intermediate barriers are a thing, I think now that we have an abundance of quality SP and solid expanding ammunition, that is the best overall option.
Fragmenting ammunition may cause more tissue damage, but that’s not going to have any marked difference in the immediate outcome than a JSP or other similar round.
