Anything you can find right now, .380 is harder to find than 5.56 or 7.62 in the Houston area right now.... but generally any modern hollow point that will feed reliably in your pistol will work....
Are all Speer Gold Dot's +P?
I'd prefer something that isn't +P. The manual says the kel tec can take it, but it wouldn't be good in the long run. . . . makes me feel so happy.
From reading re SD .380 ammo on the various forums it appears that penetration is an issue with a lot of the HP .380 ammo, especially thru thick heavy winter clothing. The solution: FN Buffalo Bore 100g-has excellent penetration and the FN causes just as much or more damage than the hollow points.
I use Hornady Critical Defense, was able to order from Cabelas and shipped faster then my WWB ammo. Anything you decide to carry you should shoot at least a few boxes through to make sure it feeds reliably.
Each gun is different, you need to try different brands of ammo to check for feeding problems, ejection problems and accuracy. You do not want to have ammo problems if you have to use your gun.

As said by DirtyD anything that I can find I’ve been shooting, but the availability has not been such an issue in the last 2-3 weeks. Still being rationed to one or two boxes (50) per purchase and almost always non brass but its out there on the shelves at gun stores. Personally I have not seen any at the Academys and Walmarts. For Home Defense I keep Hornady Critical Defense in the mag….again this was all I could get at the time.
