Benelli M4 or 870; I own both and would have a tough time giving one up.

One shotgun? For everything? What a sad thought.
It'd be an Ithaca model 37.

^+1 Unless you count the Judge

My brothers and I all have an 870. If you laid them side by side you might not belive they are all built off the same reciever.

I'm not a fan of the Mossy safety position. But thats the only bad thing I have to say about them.

I have not shot enough shotguns to be able to answer this question. But I will say, for me. It would definitely be a semi-auto shotgun. I love those things

I've been training with this one now for several years and can't find a reason not to continue doing so.

Browning BPS, the first time I pulled the trigger I knew it was something special. By the end of that session I could reliably smoke 3 clays in the air time and time again. Smoothest pump action (I tried them all) with the added bonus of somehow the geometry of the gun leaves you with no appreciable muzzle rise! You just swing to the next target. Keep in mind I'm not as good as this post makes me sound, It's the Browning! The other half of the question is this. You're in a dark hallway in your house with a bad guy in front of you. You pull the trigger the gun thumps your shoulder, you cycle the action. Because the muzzle doesn't jump and the action is so smooth the bead is still on the target. No struggling to reaquire the target you just keep pulling the trigger. My buddies and I all tried it out and agreed more accurate lead downrange in less time than anything they had seen. My only problem was getting the Browning back out of their hands

I'm not sure I would be able to choose between my 870 and 1100. Thank God I don't have to!

Hats off to the guys who picked the 1100. The most magical autoloader ever produced IMHO. Since 1963 over 6 million sold!

I am a short person (5' 6") with arms that are short even for my frame size. I have become very pleased with my Remington 870 Express 20ga. Youth with the remchoke system. The 21" barrel comes up on target fast and is accurate enough for 20ga. ranges. I really wanted to pick my dads 20ga. H&R Topper Jr. single shot that I have used for many years with a fixed full choke but I let brains over take heart in this case. Maybe it has something to do with the butt pad becoming harder than the wood stock itself from time.
