First of all to me personally the XD service with the full size grip is to big of a gun for me to conceal effectively, so I carry the XDsc or the XDs.
As for holsters, if you carry IWB and want to reholster easily you have to have a holster that stays open. Most likely this will be kydex or some other material. Some leather holsters have a reinforced mouth that works somewhat. The best blend of comfort vs. easy reholster is a hybrid holster with a leather or similar backing with a kydex shell. I have an Alien Gear hybrid that I use occasionally. I have shells for both of my guns so that I can carry either one. I also have a leather holster but not longer use because it is difficult to holster, uncomfortable to wear, and impossible to reholster when IWB.
My main carry holster for my XDs is an IWB taco style kydex holster. I carry it at the 3:00 position and can draw and reholster with ease.
For my XDsc when I carry it OWB, I use a Raven Concealment Phantom that draws it in tight. Although I am considering switching to a Cooks's comfort series.
