For defensive rounds, 155 Grain 1200 fps , 165 Grain 1150fps, or 180 Grain 1025 fps?

what would you choose and why? :?:

I use 165gr Gold Dot's in my Glock 23 and M&P 40. Basically, I chose 165gr because I shot it the best out of the three.

180gr.

180gr cause it has tested well and is recommended by Doc Roberts, as is the 155gr, but I prefer the heavier bullet.
