I'm not looking for anything on the high end. High end meaning $800

I'm not a first time buyer, I have 5 pistols, none of them which are compact. Just wanting opinions.

How do you want to carry it?

That is what you need to decide first.

I shot an XDs recently and didn't like it. Get a compact M&P.

I'm thinking ankle holster most of the time.

Regardless, you should still watch it. I forget a lot of specifics when typing out responses and my video is loaded with information.

Here are my reviews on the Ruger SR9c (double stack) and Kahr CM9 (single stack). Both highly recommended.

You also need to decide on a method of carry. An M&P compact would be horribly uncomfortable on an ankle.

I think a lot depends on 1) personal wants 2) location and 3) holster.

Personal wants:
Capacity
Size (Barrel and grip length)
Revolved vs semi-auto
Single vs double stack (goes w/ capacity)
Comfort

Location:
Hot climate?

Holster:
IWB vs OWB?
A good IWB holster can make carrying something like a glock 19 or XD9 service pistol manageable.

You have to weigh all of these things.
For me, I like to have capacity and I like to use the pistol I shoot with the most. So, I carry my SA XD9 4" service model. I have an Old Faithful IWB holster. I live in Texas as well.
It's probably not the most ideal thing in the world, but its my baby and I have 16 rounds ready to go. It makes me feel better than having a 5 shot snubbie, or some 380 auto pocket pistol which are much more comfortable.

With that said, I wouldn't mind trying out an XDs.

I wear Jeans and a polo tucked in most of the time, is there a way to carry besides on the ankle wearing just this?
