Personally, I like carbines. (1) Modern ones shoot pistol rounds, so less likely to penetrate through walls to accidentally kill neighbors (especially with hollow-points), and (2) it's easy to hit target with a rifle, even a short one like a carbine. (Very easy to miss with hand gun.) A friend of mine who is a deputy sheriff and homicide investigator also recommends ".22 cal semi-auto rifle" as a home defense weapon... cheap, easy to hit target and can put several rounds on target quickly." (You don't have to kill/incapacitate an invading perp... just putting him in a world of hurt so he no longer wants to pursue his aggression is a good thing too.)
Carbines... recommend (1) Hi-Point 9mm/.40/.45 cal, and (2) Henry, .357/.44 Magnums
