In the shotgun role I use a Mossberg 500 in 20 Gauge, but only because I don't care for 12 too much, but I'm learning to use one better.
As for the HD Rifle, I like the Ruger Mini-14, it's light, handy, simple, and reliable. It took me all of 5 minutes to figure out the operation and safty. And takes about 2 minutes to fieldstrip and clean, and the .223/5.56 fires a nice little round great for HD.
