+1 on Brenekke slugs.
+0 on buckshot. For terminal defense from a wounded bear, you're not going to get much spread from a shotgun with buckshot (my 870 duty gun does 5" at 10 yards with 00 buck) to compensate for aiming errors, and you're giving up a whole lot of penetration and solid thump. Blacks may be more forgiving than browns, being smaller and all, but up here in AK slugs are pretty much the industry standard for bear defense in a shotgun.
