Both are good, but after trying out a few, I prefer the way the USP feels. The weight distribution makes it feel more solid IMO, and I like the way the grip feels better.

M&P45 if I have to go polymer. American made, excellent ergonomics, great shooter. Also economical compared to the HK. Not so much compared to the Springer once you consider that there are a ton of used XDs on the market.
Otherwise, the Springfield. Both are good, but I prefer the XD's trigger and ergonomics. Plus the XD-45 Compact (CCO style format) is great. Also, if you do have problems with the gun, Springfield is a hell of a lot easier to deal with than HK.

My Feedback
I held the M&P .45 and thought it was pretty nice but I really liked the feel of the XD in the 5". I actually have a .40 HK that I like pretty good but I was in a gun store today and felt like it was time for a change, I just didn't want it to be a downgrade if I traded my HK in. I don't really have any gripes with the HK but after holding the XD and M&P the both just felt better in my hand and seemed to have a better trigger design.

Personally, I would go with a Glock. They are the best bang for the buck but of the two, I prefer the H&K. You really can not go wrong with any of the three. In the end go with what feels best in your hand.
A question for gun owners: Springfield XD or HK USP?
