I'm still a newb too, to this gun thing. Based on the reading that I've done, and the gun "testing" (borrowed several and fired them back to back to back).

I tried a Sig in 9mm, a Glock in 9mm and a Springfield XD in 9mm (as well as a compact Kahr, a BHP, and a couple of others). I found that my groups were tighter with the Glock and XD than they were with the Sig. I doubt it was anything wrong with the gun. It's just a function of which guns works best with me (my ergonomics). I figure that a gun that I'm more accurate with initially, will probably be a good gun for me. I tried the XD and Glock back to back several times switching back and forth to see which felt better. In the end, they were VERY close, but I decided I liked the XD better. I have no idea why, it just felt better somehow (nothing that I could put my finger on). So I ended up getting a 9mm XDM (new and improved XD, basically).

I'd advise you to go out and shoot as many guns as you can, borrowing guns, renting guns, etc.... Decide which you prefer based on which feels best, shoots best, and has the best reputation. That's what I did.
