From my own personal experience, the M&P compact would be a very good choice. Having owned both the full sized M&P 9mm and the compact, I can tell you there is little difference in felt recoil between the two.
On your other topic, yes, the 40 S&W round is a bit stout... more so than the 45 ACP. The 40 S&W is a good round in a full sized service pistol, but rather tiring to shoot in a polymer framed compact.
