I like the AR-15 M4 variants, as well as an AK variant if given the choice. The AR for availability of parts/accessories, the AK for toughness and dependability.

I would love to have a combat grade 870 platform for up close work tho, with the appropriate modifications, and save the rifle for the longer range suppression shots.

And a nice bladed or other non-ammo backup is always a plus for when/if supplies run out.
