As someone new you probably won't see cleaning as a chore - at least right away. I personally shoot Sellier & Belott because I don't enjoy field striping my guns. Its the cleanest ammo I've ever shot.

Buy a Uplula as the M&P mags are almost impossible to get the 10th round in by hand.

Nice choice in pistol. I just got my RPAL in August and that was my first purchase.

I know I'm probably not seeing mine until next year but I'm chewing at the bit waiting to punch holes in paper.

Buy a bit of both and see what you like, they say 124gr has less recoil, but it is all personal preference, 115 and 124 will cycle perfectly, just buy some decent ammo and try and find it cheap and just start shooting, fundamentals first then start worrying about ammo, most guys like cci blazer, but winchester white box is good for practice and I haven't heard anything bad about PMC bronze

The M&P 2.0 should eat most anything you feed it. Typically target shooters like the lighter 115g ammo, but it is personal preference.
