I have that mossberg 500 flex and it's awesome because it is literally the only shotgun you need. It's a little more expensive than other pump-action shotties but I can literally go from home defense(tactical grip with short barrel) to bird hunting (non-rifled, 20" barrel, normal butt stock) to deer hunting (rifled barrel) in about 3 minutes. Granted you can spend good money on barrels and accessories but for about $700 you have all the shotguns you ever need.
As far as Pump vs. semi auto... Pump because most people believe your best defense is racking a round in the chamber. That noise alone is as good or better than a barking dog. I keep mine in a safe next to my bed and never a round in the chamber. IF someone gets in my house before I know they are there, or before they know I'm here, I'm probably going with my 9mm anyways. I want the shotgun to keep em' out.
I keep defense rounds in my shotgun which have both buckshot and discs. I have shot them at paper and they stay pretty tight so I don't think there is a huge advantage to em'.
