Depends where you live, doesn't it? Urban, suburban, country... Out of your choices, I'd take the Mini-14, but my own (suburban townhouse) is a Remington 870 in 12-ga. with #6 shot. My SHTF rifle would be the FAL.
If you have to use a rifle for HD go with the Mini-14. Then invest in a supply of frangible ammo like Hornady TAP, Glaser, MagSafe, or Extreme Shock.
Otherwise, to coin a Clint Smithism, I recommend a reliable handgun to fight your way over to the HD shotgun you should not have let get out of arms reach.
