Which is better: Queen, Rook and Two Knights or a Shotgun?

I know what you're all going to say -- it depends on the position.  But based on your general impression of their various strengths and weaknesses which do you think gives the greater overall advantage?

Is the shotgun purple?

I would never take a chance with a purple shotgun.

But the rook and Queen can often neutralize the shotgun's control of the dark squares.
