Buy a box of everything, try it all. I have a Sig p320c in 9mm and for practice I use American Eagle 147gr. My carry amo is Hornady Critical Duty 135gr JHP.I am a new recipient of a CPL. I am currently saving money for a 9mm handgun. I have very little experience firing a weapon and I want to start buying ammo so that when I get my gun I can practice allot before I start carrying my firearm. So my knowledge of ammunition, the types and the best for my purposes is pretty low. What are the differences in different types of bullets and what brands do you recommend? Also, can you make any recommendations of places to buy them at the best price?

Shoot the cheap stuff to practice with. Still though be sure to run some full power defense rounds each time you shoot. It's always good to familiarize yourself with the higher recoil most have so there's no nasty surprises if you find yourself in a life threatening situation. You don't need to practice with them exclusively though so save your money. Just a clip or two is plenty IMO.
I am curious about those full power defense rounds you speak of. What do you mean by that?
Some handguns don't like steel-cased ammunition.
I am curious about these handguns that don't like steel-cased ammunition that you speak of? What do you mean by that? As long as the ammunition meets the size specifications for the caliber, why would a gun not like it because of the steel case?
If your gun can't cycle a certain steel or aluminum-cased ammunition, then this simply means that you have a gun that generally has problems cycling ammunition.
