A 9m is cheaper to go to the range and practice with compared to larger caliber weapons. Plus it will be easier for you to stay on target after your first shot. Some people will talk about stopping power, but if you shoot someone trying to break into your house, they'll probably take off running even if you miss.
I have a .40 XD 4" and LOVE the gun. I've shot a lot of guns and nothing felt better in my hands and I've never had any issues with it.
If you don't have a lot of time to go to the range, I'd recommend a revolver mainly becuase it's a lot less complicated to load, shoot, clear, no jamming, etc.
Just make sure you shoot a gun before you buy and that it feels good in your hands.

Love my XD, but a revolver is the easiest/best way to go for most novice shooters. IMHO. Best of luck.
