Find a range close to you that rents those hand guns and shoot each one you are interested. Think of buying a handgun like buying a car and do the same kind of research. Look at the gun forums good and bad for each. Everyone is going to have different opinions based on what they own and prefer.
In hand guns I prefer a Colt 1911 or springfield style handguns.
Other factors include target or self defense pistol? CCW permit or just in the night stand draw. Those all play a factor. I was taught a gun is a tool and you pick the best tool for the job at hand. Some tools can carry over to other jobs but usually not as well. This also gets into calibers. Assuming you have already picked 9mm by your choices. Then also how easy it is for you to field strip and clean. Reliability etc.
Good luck on choosing your first gun. You will most likely enjoy what ever you choose.
