Maybe not necessarily when it comes to practice ammo, which you are going to go through in large numbers. For SD ammo, I definitely agree, quality, among other things, is more important than price.

For me, practice ammo needs to be reliable, low wear on my gun, clean, cheap, and it needs to have similar if not identical POI and recoil characteristics to my carry ammo. It is hard to hit all of these things at once. Right now, I am settling for cheap, clean, reliable, low wear, and similar recoil/aim characteristics to my carry ammo because it would double the price for me to get identical recoil/aim to my carry ammo, therefore giving me half as much practice per dollar.

I'm not sure reloading is so economical for 9mm, especially if you are like me and are shorter on time than you are on cash most of the time. If I had to reload in order to shoot, I would never be able to find the time to do either.

I wouldn't have thought that Wolf steel cased ammo was competitive with WWB, or even close, in terms of quality.

In either case I'm not going to shoot steel cased ammo in my guns :)

+1 on the HST/HST+P for SD.

However I think Winchester White Box is the cheapest, most reliable practice ammo, from Wal Mart of all places.

I might try some Blazer if they have it in 124gr for practice.
