Goal number 1, it must fit the shooter.

Have a look at the Rock Island guns. They have a very good reputation. I have several and have had zero problems with any of them.

I would disagree and agree with that.
If we are talking newer shooter, I would say a new shooter doesn’t know what the difference between fit and not fit is. Fit is not that something feels good. To me is how reliably can I grab, draw and shoot to the same POI.
To an experienced shooter, maybe they know what characteristics of the grip are to make it reliably accurate in their hands.
S&W M&P9 m2.0 is a great well priced choice.
Grip angle is a factor to consider when purchasing a hand gun. For instance most glock handguns have a 22 degree angle while smith, sig, CZ, and springfield have a 18 degree angle. I love my glocks, they are virtually indestructible but I carry smith because I can get on point faster.

Kind of depends. If you are new or highly adaptable, it may not matter. It doesn’t matter much to me.
You should also look at Canik. I know, they are frowned upon because they are made in Turkey, but they are easy to use, reliable and affordable.
