Hunt with an auto, and make it Italian. Staying on the bead and making follow-up shots is critical. The really small chance of a feed problem with today's dependable Italian autos, and good ammo, is dramatically outweighed by your ability to calmly stay on target, with lighter recoil, and make more kills. After buying a dependable autoloader (BERETTA XTREMA II), I'll never go back.
I've also heard some good things about the cheap Mossberg auto (930?)...
But I'd still nod towards a pump for self-defense. though, I'm wavering.
And doubles are still fun for upland game & skeet.
