If I was going for a conventional carbine layout, then the KAC PDW in 6x35 would be my choice.
If I had to use 5.56mm, then the Magpul PDR looks the most promising.
The .45's rainbow trajectory at long range really rules it out of consideration for a compact, lightweight PDR. As does the ammo size and weight. And the recoil's effect on controllability in burst fire.
Incidentally, I've just revamped my PDW article, as of yesterday afternoon - including making sure that all the links work!
