WWB 115-gr FMJ shoots kind of soft shooting. However, in general, FMJ rounds would tend to penetrate more than hollowpoint rounds.
In addition to wanting to mitigate the risk of over penetration and hitting someone you don't want to hit, you also want the round to dump all it's energy into the bad guy, which is what the hollowpoint is for. For a defensive round, you want to stop the threat ASAP. A couple of 124 or 147 grain hollowpoint rounds would likely do that better than the same amount of lighter weight roundballs.
