7 1/2 bird shot, close range self defense and out to 50 yard small game round. My rifle rounds are cheaper than slugs or 00 buck, so past 50 yards I'll just use a rifle.
Thanks, this is the type of answer I was looking for.

Since you’re posting in a prepper forum I’ll assume you’re asking for some SHTF scenario. To me, besides being a great home defense weapon (where I’d use 0000 buck) it isn’t anything I’d use elsewhere, not even hunting. For a bug-out weapon, the shells are simply to heavy and you can pack darn to few of them. For a hunting weapon, forget what's legal and grab a .22 along with some nets and snares…you’ll eat better. That is my humble opinion.
I have good amounts of 22 and 223 stocked and those are my primary bug out guns, the shotgun would be if I were able to come back and grab the rest of my guns. I figured while the rest of the ammo is goong crazy I'd figure out a good multipurpose shotgun round and stock up on that since my wal-mart seems to still have 12 gauge in stock. Sounds like I should go with either 4 or the 7 1/2 and 8. Or I could just do both since 12 gauge has never been too crazy expensive
