For self defense I recommend a 12 gauge SBS or a handgun in either 9mm, .40, or .45.
I just bought a .40 XDM and its a great gun. I have about 300 rounds through it with no failures and a friend has about 600 rounds through an original XD with the same results.
I keep Federal HST rounds loaded in the handgun. Great combo of expansion and penetration. If you go the shotgun route you should shoot buckshot.
Whatever you do, go out and practice with your weapon until shooting becomes second nature.
