Inside of a normal home and in populated areas, I would definitely recommend TAP. MIL use ball because the typical engagement ranges are further out then LEO/CIV would normally encounter, the added penetration is needed, and most of all because it is cheaper.

Re: .223 HD rounds
The standard .223 round should be more that suitable for HD as it tumbles upon entry and has a lot of power behind it. Also there is not much of a risk of over penetration. If you want something besides FMJ I'd go with soft point.
