Personally, I don't care what other people think of what I carry because I'm not carrying for their approval, nor am I arrogant enough to presume that I am qualified to be instructing others on the subject. Besides, I don't subscribe to the one-size-fits-all mentality and respect that people are individuals, ergo there are a multitude of variables in play which prevent the majority of people from being able to shoot the same firearm just as well as everyone else around them.

I say carry that which you are most proficient with and feel the most confident with.
