Welcome to the board and congratz on getting your permit!
1. .380. opinions vary. I'm a .45 person myself. But found carrying a .45 in the summer time more difficult and bought myself a .380 for summertime. YMMV depending on your style of clothing. Also, depends on the ammunition you put in the .380.
2. You really need to make that decision yourself. Those are all good firearms you have listed. Myself, I'm a autoloader person. The guy down/up the list will be a revolver person. Obviously, you want something that you can conceal, first and formost. But a very very very close second, IMHO is one you are comfortable with. It's going to be practice practice practice.
However, don't discount your snubby revolvers based on accuracy. Remember the statistics. Encounters happen within ~7 feet, low light.
I came very close to buying a S&W airlight.
3. Springfield EMP. High price might shy you away though.
