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.
