Don't worry about a compensator on a 9mm. The recoil is negligable, and the muzzle flare from a compensated barrel will spoil your low-light vision. It also increases the noise by a significant percentage; some indoor ranges won't even allow compensated pistols for this reason. I don't personally like the Glocks, and the .40S&W versions seem to have a problem with kB-ing, but otherwise they're very good.

The Beretta is rumored to have a problem with frames cracking under moderately heavy use, but whether this is persistant or has been fixed, I don't know.

The Steyr is an excellet pistol, my Mom carries one as her primary. The only difficulty is parts. Some people also have a hard time with the fairly extreme rake of the grip, but I actually like it. The Steyr also has, IMO, the best sights of the three you mentioned.
