I would carry one of the two loads in my pic above (shown under the Derringer) based on what my application is.

That bird shot spreads out pretty well and would work great for snakes (or someones face to hopefully stop an attack without killing them).

The 4 pellets of 000 buck should also be fairly effective at close range.

But manufactures are offering a ton of options in .410 SD loads these days. I haven't heard of any first hand reports of effectiveness though.

Drop that derringer in your pocket as back-up option two or three. You basically have a SBS (short barreled shotgun) in your pocket.
