I saw/handled one at the NRA show last May in Indy.. Sweet little handgun. Congrats on the purchase..
Of the 3 ideas you posted for carry, the very last one to try would be the ankle.. There's a lot of negatives to overcome there..
A .380 can usually be carried very well in a coat pocket or vest.. You're right on there being a rather overwhelming choice of holster-makers for these things.. That alone could be the hardest decision you will make..
Best wishes..
