Using lead vs FMJ in 9 MM

It sounds as if some of you reload for your Luger in 9 MM. Also I would say that you use FMJ bullets. I am in the process of obtaining my first Luger and might reload for it. I reload several calibers, including the 9 MM, and use both FMJ and lead. So far I have not run into a problem using lead and believe it produces less wear for the barrel. However, reading some of the posts here I would say that you do not use lead bullets. Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts?

Also what weight bullets are you using and what powders do you prefer?
