Any gun will work fine for home defense. Everyone keeps talking about penetration and such and needing a bigger gun. Face it, if someone is hit by just 1 bb shot, they will go down and won't be a threat to you. It hurts like heck. I could stop a robber with a C02 powered BB gun.
First and for most, safety....Never keep a loaded gun where children can get to it and if you have children keep the ammo and gun separate. I know this defies what you want it for, but chances are you will never have to use it, but your kids will be around it all the time.
At my house I have loaded guns sitting everywhere. Never know where I will be in the house when I need it and I always want to be within reach of one. Plus, an empty gun is just a piece of steel to throw at them that does you no good. So, I just scatter them throughout the house for easy access. I have on several occasions went out late at night to check on cars that stop in my drive and sit there (long drive) with my gun. Of course it's loaded, but I keep calm and it usually doesn't amount to any mischief. Better to be prepared though and ready for anything.
Nothing scares a thief worse than hearing that familiar sound of you pumping a shell into the chamber. I caught a robber one day at the farm packing stuff off. Held him at gunpoint until the cops showed up. I fired a shot up in the air and he froze solid and dropped the items. That was all it took. Thieves are not killers or out to harm you. They are just looking to make a quick buck so just showing a gun to them and letting them know you mean business really scares them (most of them).
