If your powder measure is accurate, S121 should not be a problem in a .40. (I don't like it in a 9mm or .45) The problem I found with S221 in a .40 is the fact that you have to use 2x as much powder to get the same velocity and I had unburnt powder falling out my barrel after holstering. But many people use it, and if it works for them, then good for them. I only use it in my Super when I shoot Open. MP is by far the most stable powder on our market and can be used in most handgun calibres from 9mmK to .45 and everything in between.
But as far as "What is the best competition load" goes: The best load for any gun, is the one the shooter is comfortable shooting with, whilst remaining safe. And it will vary from shooter to shooter.
