IMHO the current "premium" loads from any of the major manufacturers are all fine choices - if the load 1) is absolutely reliable in YOUR pistol, and 2) has satisfactory accuracy in YOUR pistol, then stick with it and don't worry about getting something "better."

I'm comfortable with Federal, Winchester, Remington, and Speer ammo, but Cor-Bon has had intermittent QC problems over the years. I haven't heard anything definitive recently, but their DPX apparently causes hiccups in quite a few guns . . . right now it's not clear if it's a design or QC issue.

For myself, I currently use 230 grain Golden Sabers in my 1911. The load has a good reputation, has shown perfect reliability, and shoots small groups to point of aim. Beyond that, it's a 230, so if for some reason it doesn't expand, I'd expect it to perform like GI Ball . . . and that ain't bad.
