I'd highly recommend a Benelli...love mine.
The only drawback is...for the HD role, you'll likely want a different barrel. And Benelli barrels are awfully darn expensive.
To be dead honest...for what you'd spend on a Benelli and a spare barrel, you could likely get two dedicated use shotguns...or get the benelli for clays, and get a used 870 or Mossberg 500 for defense, likely for less than the benelli barrel would run.
