Win 231 (HP-38) is a great powder for 9mm. Check the data for your particular setup but for a 124gr plated bullet, I've shot 10's of thousands over 4.4 grains of W231 with a Winchester primer.

There's definitely not a best. All of the faster powders are great for plinking loads, and you have tons of choices.

N320, wst, wsf, 231, #2, clean shot, 244, sport pistol are all great powders, but so many more work very well.

Lots of guys use titegroup, but it's dirty, hot, and generally nasty.

I’ve been loading the same round, same bullet, using True Blue (5.5gr).
True Blue is good too for 9mm +P if that’s your thing.

What’s the criteria for “best”?
Do you want the most velocity at a given pressure level or the least cost per loaded round or the best case fill or the best accuracy?
All will be different powders.

I just need it to be mild recoil so my wife can shoot it out of CZ sp01.
No competition so PF does not matter.
Thank you all for your input

3.8 grains of TiteGroup at 1.125" should get you a power factor in the low 130s. And power factor does matter from a recoil standpoint. But if your wife wants more of a push instead of a snap out of that SP-01, I would suggest moving up to 147 grain bullets with 3.3 grains of TiteGroup at the same OAL (about 1.125”). That’s my old USPSA load.

If your only criteria is essentially a powder that works, then you really don't need "the best". The 2nd-best, even the 30th-best will work. Post #3 gave a good list to start. But there's a whole lot of other powders that work well and even more powders that work well enough for your requirement. Almost every pistol powder in a pinch can work for 9mm.

One of my favorite 124gn 9mm plinking loads is also one of my favorite drinks, 7 and 7.

7 grains of Accurate #7
