Weapon wise, I was thinking more like a $100-200 plasticky airsoft shotgun or rifle that is capable of FPS between 200-300 fps makes more sense. I'd yell, "I have called the cops and I have a fire arm. Get out!" Better than bats and knives or hand guns.
You want a deterrent, not something that can incapacitates. Incapacitation stuffs you're more likely to regret or accidentally self injure than successfully utilize in the right situation IMO. If there's an intruder, call the cops. Don't confront if possible unless you're the type to want to rush around the home to ensure everyone else is safe.
I'd personally also choose a tennis racquet or squash racquet over a bat too. Better defense against hitting the weapon away against someone with a knife if they're being bold. Faster swings/recoveries and larger coverage than a bat. Also more plausible deniability.
