Hard to say, not sure what you already have? If you already have an AR, AK and Shotgun I would get the XDSC 9. Then get your CCW. But hard to say just going off a list.

Well if your goal is CCW I'd go with the 45-70. But if you're going to hunt bears, the XD9SC would obviously be the choice.

45-70
If you got a yen for a 45-70 forget the lever get a Shiloh Sharps.

To blend in the Urban settings get a Hummer H1, and for bear hunting take a Mini Cooper. 
Seriously, I would get the SC, for those times when the regular sized pistol is too bulky. Better the small gun at hand, than the big one at home.

Looking for an HDR*, either an AR-180B, or Kel-Tec FBR.

It all depends on what kind of collection you already have. If you don't have any sub compact handguns I would go with the XD, but if you did, I would go with the Smith and Wesson.
You could go buy the M&P, drive down to Atlanta, rob a drug dealer, and then go buy the others.

I would go with the 45-70 also just because I have always wanted one and just ended up get other guns in place of it

My Dad has an early Marlin 1895 in 45-70. Made before the rebounding hammer and crossbolt safety. He put a Lyman reciver peep sight on it.
The rifle is fairly accurate and I have never seen a wlid pig take more than one step after being hit with a 405gr soft point.
Its quite a kicker, but not overly nasty. Like one big push, not snappy like a 300 Win Mag.
The 45-70 is one of those rounds that does not look impressive on paper, but I swear, it knocks down wild pigs with gusto! Dad only shoots Remington factory 405 grainers or Winchester 350gr hollowpoints, but the thing is fast to operate and kills everything.
If you hunt deer or wild pigs in close, thick cover, the Marlin lever action makes alot of sense. Don't pass up a nice Marlin lever gun in 444 Marlin either - thats another good brush gun for deer and pigs.
Otherwise, if you hunt in open country, I'd opt for a single shot breech loader like a Shiloh Sharps repro or maybe a Browning or Ruger No1 in 45-70.

I now have an XD9 Service, Colt Trooper Mark 3, Kimber 1911 Target Match, Ruger 10/22, Savage .17 HMR, Baikal .410, Mossberg 12 Guage.
The gun will not be for ccw.
