As far as brands go, there are many good brands. To coattail on what James said, you have to try different rounds in whatever pistol you have and see what is the most accurate and if any are not reliable.
I've had excellent results with Cor-Bon ammo. This is carry ammo and it is quite powerful, albeit expensive. The Federal Hydra Shok is a highly proven JHP and would serve you well in both .40 and .45 loads. For practice ammo I have had good experience with PMC and Remington. I had some trouble with Winchester white box in .45, but none in .40 or 9mm. I think it was probably the pistol with the .45, but a buddy had trouble with it too in a Kimber, so who knows.
Some people get hung up on a magic bullet. Guess what? There isn't one. Pick a quality JHP that is accurate and feeds well and then work on shot placement. Over and over and over...
