Well I've shot all types in your example, not thousands of rounds or anything. However my favorite is side by side, then over under, semi auto and pump were kind of equal. I like the semi auto more than the pump when it was working correctly.

I just liked the simplicity of the break action shotguns. They always went 'boom' for me. The semi auto I used jamned once every few hundred rounds, and the pump was prone to partial cocking (probably due to my anxiety of getting the next round off).

I'm sure any of these work perfectly for people who have practiced with them and maintained them well, but I found the break action so simple and trouble free. Break action would be my choice if I was buying one shotgun.
