Can't say what's best as it's strictly opinion, but I am very happy with my Taurus PT145(.45ACP) in a Crossbreed SuperTuck.

I carry 2 calibers all the time, so I can't vote. I carry a C9 and a Charter .357 MAG PUG.

What about .410ga? That's not on the list. There is a SxS .410/.45LC derringer with a 3" barrel made by Leinad/Cobray that I am dying to get. They also have a matching 11" model that I'd love to get a hold of.

That would be one helluva derringer.

The one you have with you when you need it. I usually carry a SP-101 in 38 spec, a PA-63, CZ-82 or a Makarov.

Thats a loaded question, and is strickly up to the individual.
What I carry around the house, locally, and when travelling are all different.
I think the better question would be in the type of round.

+1 depends on you and when. I'm a big guy, 6'3"' 260. When it's hot it's a P3AT. With more clothes it's a snubby. Cold out it's a G19. Been known to tote a S&W 629 in 8 3/8" under a big jacket...Kinda like Dirty Harry. It's really what you can do and like.
