The black one.
Rule #2!
As to which gun to take when bugging out, most people are going to take the gun(s) with the most commonly used ammo—.22LR, 9mm, 5.56/.223—partly because those are the most commonly sold guns, and partly because they think it'll be easier to find ammo for them later. But if you think about it, how much ammo can you carry without mechanical assistance? Even less common rounds are likely to be stocked in easy to carry quantities. If you find a gun shop that has (or more likely had) ammo, the .22LR, 9mm and .223 stocks are likely to have been picked over. What are people more likely to carry off—.22LR or .17HMR? If you have a .22 gun you're probably SOL. If you have a .17HMR gun you may be luckier and find whatever .17HMR the shop had in stock.
Still, as mentioned several times earlier, bugging out is only for people who have nothing or no one else to stay home for.
AR. Readily available ammo. Interchangeable parts. Good for mid-sized game, and predators.
Lever action Marlin 30.30 for me, if it ever comes to that.
Only issue with a shotgun in a bug out situation is, the ammo is heavy.
