Pump. Less to go wrong in the heat of the moment. Plus the sound of a pump shotgun racking can be a strong psychological deterrent to bad guys.
If you can find one, the maverick 88 is a good choice.

We watched some forgettable movie the other day, where the good guy with the shotgun "chambered a round" 4 or 5 times to threaten the bad guy, and no rounds were ejected. Bad guy should have just walked away from the guy with the empty shotgun.

On the one hand racking is indeed a distinctive sound; on the other hand it also gives away your position. I still like it!
