I'm not fighting for any organized force...already fought my wars...screw 'em.
Instead, I'd train up a few buddies and stick with guerilla activities around my county where I have intimate knowledge of the area.
I'd use my old-guy "muzzle-loader" "Slab Side SP1 AR-15 (24 inch barrel) with a scope and see-through mount to use iron sights when needed.
Allows me to keep my distance, yet make 400 yd head shots all day long. Can carry lots of ammo & have a semiauto weapon in a pinch. Alternatively, a .scoped 308 bolt action rifle (or any other deer rifle) and a 9mm sidearm.

The main thing you need to consider in a SHTF scenario is what will be most readily available.
As for sidearms, I would have to go with either a Beretta 92/M9 or a Glock of some sort (even though I fricking despise them). If shite hits the fan, military supplies and police department supplies will be most readily available. I love 1911s, M&Ps, XDs, etc. but those just aren't as common. Even as anti-Glock as I am, I can see the up sides to having one. I would definitely go Beretta 92 before Glock though. 9mm would be the easiest caliber to obtain as well.
For combat rifles, AR15 all the way - Same concept applies. Extensive use of the AR15 in military and PD applications makes it the most common. There would be parts and ammo everywhere for it.
For a precision rifle, the Remington model 700 also follows the same line of being used in military and police applications. A 700 in .308 would do the job just fine.
For shotguns, the classic Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 are about as common as they get. For close quarters, a shotgun is ideal.
And for a .22, the Ruger 10/22 is definitely the most common.

Right now, all I have is a Hi-Point 9mm carbine....not bad for an urban area.

currently i got a shotgun and a few pistols. so i'll just hide and let them get close 
i think a high powered hunting rifle would be the way to go though. hit them at long range. realistically an ar15 wouldnt be a great choice IMO b/c you're going to be close to the enemy. Who in most cases will be far superior to you. wouldnt matter how much ammo you could carry b/c you'd most likely die first

Probably one of my ARs and my glock 19. I have lots of ammo and mags for both.

My AR, Glock .40, and a 300 WM with a 6x24x50 scope on my back for sniping. frick a .308.

I'd go
Remington 700 .280
Two Beretta M9's
M249 SAW with a red dot scope
Already have the first two, but I'd switch out the .280 for a assault rifle depending on what the folks around me had.
If this hypothetical did in fact happen, the Chinese probably wouldn't have much of a chance, if we got a heads up that they were on the way. Also, I'd ditch the M9's if it were anything bigger than your average person.
