Depends on your criteria (e.g. U.S. vs. Rooshian) and quantity.
Natchez Shooter Supply (www.natchezss.com) is hard to beat for larger quantities -- figure on buying a few cases so that shipping will offset what you would have paid locally in sales tax.
If you just want a few hundred rounds, go to Wal-Mart or Academy.

Personal defense ammo. I only want/need 50-100 round

For only 50-100 rds, Walmart or Academy are as cheap as anywhere. Academy probably has a better selection. Since you are a noobie, I'll offer you a little more helpful advice.
For practice, shoot the cheapest 115 gr FMJ ammo you can find, usually costs around $10-12/box of 50.
For self defense ammo, here are some of the best currently available:
Hornady Critical Defense or XTP
Remington Golden Saber
Corbon
Federal HSP
Winchester PDX
Usually 115 gr or 124 gr for a 9mm.
Dont get too hung up on the brand, all of the above will do the job.
Good luck

I's suggest a few minor modifications to this list:
1. Federal HST (probably what jimbeaux meant to type).
2. Winchester Ranger-T (Ayoob recommends the 127 grain +p+ load).
3. Corbon DPX (Corbon makes a lot of ammo types. The DPX is loaded with the Barnes solid copper bullet).

SGAmmo/cheaperthandirt for bulk
For SD/HD
I prefer the Speer Gold JHP 124gr +p
Try this site out for some good general info

avoid the Hornady's IMO

Walmart is where you need to go for 9mm. The federals are great for practice ammo.
Gold dots are excellent SD rounds as well.

How many rounds do you want?
Posted on 6/21/12 at 11:22 am to HeadSlash
50-100, not many...just enough to have in case of emergency for the 9mm
Posted on 6/21/12 at 12:15 pm to TigerTatorTots
You want to buy a couple boxes of the infamous "Black Talons"?
Posted on 6/21/12 at 1:50 pm to HeadSlash
Well if you're looking for stuff in case of an emergency...
Decent Self Defense ammo is usually pretty close to $1 a round. Shopping around can save you some money though, best place to look would be on the internet. They're usually sold in 20 round boxes.
Or if you really don't care about having a quality self defense round... you can pick up a Remington UMC 100 round value pack of 9mm Jacketed hollow points for cheap. That's what I usually bring in the woods.

So did you not get a shotgun and went with a pistol instead?

The shotgun was easy. I'm getting a pistol for my night stand; the shotgun is in the closet
