57 x 28 or 9mm?

I'm on the fence and am trying to consolidate ammo for when shtf. I just got the Smith and Wesson M&P 57 (no safety, of course) and its out performing my S&M MP 9c on penetration and accuracy...but the ammo is super expensive.....plus its not a common round. I'm wondering if I should stick with the 9mm for those two reasons? side note: the green tip 57x28's penetrate class 2 body armor and they will put a serious hurting on class 3.

I have a C308 that also shoots 7.62 x 51. I just got the X-91 50 round drum mag for it and a bi-pod. So I have that squared away. I have a Savage Axis 308 with a scope as well..both are zeroed in and ready to roll... I have an AR-15 and I also bought a Panzer AR-12 shotgun with a 20 round drum mag. ..and of course I have my body armor from when I was in the Marine Corps, I recently updated the plate and bought trauma pads for it... I was debating dropping the 9mm and getting a FN P-90 and the accompanying pistol that both shoot 57x28...but after all the feedback it looks like that would be a serious judgment error.
