Let's get serious here. Unless you have a bull elephant invade your home a 9mm bullet has plenty of stopping power.
I'd get a Ruger Security Six .357 magnum (I"m assuming they're still made, or whatever the next generation of them is). Practice with .38 cal. You'll hear lots of other suggestion, I'm sure many will be good, but I'd definitely rather have the revolver for home defense.
