If I am going to get my concealed weapons permit, what kind of holster would be the best to own for everyday use?

That depends on the model gun you plan to carry and what you feel comfortable with. I carry a 3.5" 1911 and use several different holsters for different situations.

best place on your body? you should buy one for your waist and one to go around your shoulders use either when the situation applies.

the least amount of wear would be soft leather... not to be mistaken with rawhide. you can even get leather holster with suede liners on the inside from galco. they are expensive though. I have been planning on getting one for my 1911 for a while, but the one I want costs around $300.

Reason is the bluing on my new aquired python is 98% and I do not want to take a chance. What about carry for a 4 in? Shoulder or waist?

get both and wear the holster according to your clothes. The python would look bad ass in a sholder holster.
