It really depends but for me since I live in the US, an AR-15 is a nice gun to have. I live in a state with no assault rifle bans other than NFA laws if I want full auto and suppressors.
But for the end of the world gun, I would want an AK that fires 5.56 since that type of ammo is easier to get on this side of the pond. The AK platform can run with low maintenance, not saying the AR can't but the AK is more rugged when it comes to by yourself and eventually you'll run out of lube and gun cleaning supplies. For a combat rifle for when the shit hits the fan, nothing compares to a good AR-15 that's been personalized for you. I would like mine with a 14.5 in barrel with a muzzle device pinned and weld because that length of barrel is more than for home defense and urban combat. A shotgun for me is specialized. People think it's just point and shoot but there's a lot more too it and it has significantly less ammo and requires a lot more training to load efficiently and even shoot effectively.

There are those who say that a rifle in .22 LR is the ideal survival firearm. You can kill small game with it, it can be effective against people within limits,easy to shoot, it's accurate and many of the guns are light and dependable. Aslo you can have a fair amount of ammo on your person and not be weighted down like say a couple hundred .22 rounds vs 200 .30-06 rounds.
My feeling is whatever gun you have with you in a survival situation (we'll assume you have ammo as well) is better than nothing at all. But I've never been in The Grey so I don't know.
