For home defense I would recommend a bullpup shotgun. The spray clears large areas, in case it is a low visibility situation, and requires very little skill at aiming. The bullpup style puts the loading chamber at the bottom rear of the gun reducing overall length and making it optimal for hallways and tight spaces.
If you clip a home invader with a shotgun round the chances are much higher of incapacitating them versus a 9mm bullet.
What is your criteria? You've got full sized and rinky dink pinky hangers on there.
Is this a daily carry? I personally carry a glock 19 and love it. But I dont know what availability is like in your area.

Update: Here is a Google search for my number one recommended home defanse weapon. https://www.google.com/search?q=ksg+bullpup+shotgun&tbm=isch&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&prmd=sivn&hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwjtleyM5vPpAhUC-awKHTJ8CnUQrNwCKAJ6BQgBEPsB&biw=412&bih=732
I read years ago that the racking of a pump shotgun instills the most fear then anything else in burglars and home invaders
I use birdshot for the first 2 rounds then I alternate buckshot and deer slugs.
