I don't know, Beav.
I am not qualified to comment on the latest and greatest, so I just listen to those that are not stuck in the past.
Over the years I've been reading, listening, and loosely keeping mental notes on what instructors recommend. These are guys that kicked doors down for a living. And now they teach the rest of us.
From what I have filed away in my brain, these guys seem to say that there isn't a semi-auto shotgun that has been proven reliable. Especially with some of the extended mag tubes.
And for pump shotguns, they see people struggle under stress. Stress in class.
They all seem to recommend an AR15, as being more reliable and easier for Joe-average or Jane-average to operate, in defense of their home.
If you are going to only choose one long gun for HD, and are equally familiar/competent with each, go with the M4.
My Auto-5 shown in this thread is simply one tool in the toolbox.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
