This actually requires a bit more thought. First off forget using a pistol. Most people can't hit squat with a pistol when they are dealing with a live target. This includes cops. The recommendations for a 12 gauge shotgun are right on. Keep in mind, a home defense gun is for killing and not for scaring people. Forget that "racking the shotgun" noise. You want a round in the chamber. In a high stress situation, you may very well forget to round a chamber and when you pull the trigger at that critical moment the last thing you want to be hearing is a "click." For that reason, I recommend getting an automatic shotgun. Costs more, but less to think about when the adrenaline is running.
As for which round to go with, I recommend double ought buckshot. If someone is on the other side of your bedroom door you can just shoot through the door.
