Well, I choose the shotgun, and here's why:
1) WALL OF LEAD THEORY; with the proper choke, not only can you take out most of one zombie, you'll be able to hit ones on either side of them.
2) Ammo shape; due to a straight-up cylindrical design, with no taper, you can carry more of them without wasted space.
3) Ammo availabilty; the 5.56 NATO round of the AR-15 would be kind of difficult to get your hands on, same thing with the .45 caliber ammo. Shotguns and plinking(.22 Caliber) are the most popular firearms currently, so, ammo wouldn't be an issue.
4) Knockdown; as already discussed, the shotgun has enough knockdown to bring down a zombie. Even if you miss the head(slim chance), there won't be enough left of them for them to attack you.
5) BADASS FACTOR; while, the AR-15 or the .45 would look cooler, there's something that strikes fear in someone's heart when they see a pissed off man with a shotgun.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I reach the other side,
I can show him what it feels like to die.
I can show him what it feels like to die.
Bury me with my guns on,
So when I'm cast out of the skies,
I can shoot the Devil right between the eyes.
