I looked at several, but picked the Taurus 738 TCP. I didn't choose it because its was the least expensive, but that was a nice thing too!
Pretty rare I carry a .380 other than as a BUG (I prefer my G26), but I also have the Taurus TCP 738. Have owned it for several years, put ~25 rounds through it each range trip and have had no issues with it. I know some owners who have, but I suspect it has to do with putting too many rounds through it - it is not a shoot once per week, 100-200 rounds pistol. I chose it over others (e.g., my wife carries the Kel Tec P3AT) because I prefer to have the slide lock back.
Not that I'm knocking the LC380, because if that is what you like, then who am I to tell you it's no good. But in my personal opinion, I will only buy and carry a 380 that is smaller than a 9mm can be made. So with the specs of the lc380 being the exact same as the lc9, I would never choose the weaker caliber model. Just thought the OP should know that if he does look towards the LC380, the LC9 is the EXACT same gun, only difference obviously being caliber.The LC380 is a nice carry gun also. Little larger than LCP but still small enough to carry IWB or pocket.

I carried the Ruger LCP for a while but didn't like the long trigger pull and the kick started to be a little too much after 20-30 rounds. Nice to carry and easy to conceal . Now carrying the Bersa Thunder 380. The size is larger than the Ruger and is easer on the hand when on the range. This pistol is almost an exact copy of the Walther PPK 380. Still it is easily concealed and not much difference at the end of the day as far as the feel of ITP carry all day.
