My thoughts were gong the same direction as Fishbed77: .45 feels softer to a lot of people, and if you got a 1911 type pistol in .45, you would have the same operating system in both .45 and .380.
Both of your other choices are very fine pistols, though, and I hardly think you will go wrong with either. I have a Beretta 92, and I don't find the transition from DA to SA to be nearly as difficult as some people say.
