Are you more concerned with Home Defense or hunting. Home defense with some hunting I'd get something like a Remington 870express 20ga. I actually have a youth model from when I was 12. Great gun. Make sure it's a pump gun. Pump guns are like tanks and won't let you down. Plus an intruder will shit their pants at the sound of that.

More hunting than home defense a 12ga for sure. But a basic model Remington, Browning, etc will work great. Shotguns are simple enough that you can't really screw them up. I've shot probaby 50+ different type of shotguns including some high dollar ones. A good midgrade is fine.
