I personally have nothing against the .356TSW, but sure would love to find it on a local gunshop's shelf once in awhile. Unless you reload or buy online, having the .356TSW seems like living in constant ammo shortage.
The 10mm is another good round, would certainly be a powerful round for home-defense or concealed carry. However would be very costly for a range gun, produces lots of recoil, and isn't available in as many stores as the: 9mm, 40S&W, 45acp.
The .357 sig is another round that is commonly available everywhere, but man are you going to pay. It produces a very snappy recoil, and most people tend to not like the bottle-neck casing.
I don't think that any round is useless, if someone is protecting their family or themselves, any caliber is better than nothing at all.
