I've only just started playing, about 2 or 3 hours in, but I'm enjoying a pistol/shotgun combo. Pistol while I'm being stealthy, then the shotgun for when the shit hits the fan. The shotgun is so powerful at close range, you only need to find somewhere to camp out and wait for the alerted enemies to come your way and the bodies will start to pile up. I haven't even put a point into shotguns yet (or much else for that matter, playing on Recruit), but it's still super useful for when you're forced into combat.
So from the little I've played, going for the stealth/pistol/shotgun route appears to be pretty effective. I'm actually quite enjoying the combat, but it's still more satisfying to clear a room with neck snapping.
