DO NOT " keep an unloaded cheap shotgun nearby". If the intruder is armed, you are in a much worse position than you would be w/o the unloaded shotgun. Intimidation is not a very good defense. If the intruder is in your home, it's a safe bet he understands that he may come across a pissed off resident and is prepared to deal with that.
A Mossberg or Remington (really either one is fine) pump action,short barreled, tactical shotgun and a high quality flashlight will serve you well. Go to the range and fire this gun using the same loads you will be using for home defense. Practice clearing jams, practice firing from odd angles, shoot it a couple times without hearing protection. The goal is to practice scenarios that you are likely to encounter in a home defense situation.
