Actually... If you think about it, you just need sum bleach/roundup, mathches, and a small private plane. F*** em up good, there. Bleach and roundup are flammable and corrode their already naturall deteriorating skin. I think you can figure out what the matches are for.
Full plate armour (try getting zombie teeth through plated steel) and you can basically sleep in the street.
As for actual weapon? As others have said, ranged is the way to go and you want quiet, deadly and not to have to worry about ammo all the time. Crossbow.
other than getting around, oh and the inherent holes in the armor
Or moving in it.
As for you all saying a crossbow...they don't exactly refire fast. You have to rewind them each and every time. A normal bow would be much better.
The Crossbow's advantage was that it could pack the power of a longbow into a handheld, easy to aim and fire at the ready weapon for punching through heavy armor or shields.
Also, you keep talking about retrieving arrows...are you really going to dig them out of the zombie's head while other zombies are attacking you? Arrows can also break you know.
First of all, I have no problem moving in full plate armour, because I have done several times in LARP. I own a set already and it weighs 120lbs, but I'm 6"7 and in shape, so it's no problem. You can't exactly sprint, but I can get around just fine. And the holes have chainmail coverings.
And as for the reload issue with a crossbow, why would I be fighting hordes? I'd avoid all populated areas and have a weapon just in case I encountered a single or maybe 2 zeds, but anymore than that, I'm running the eff away.
perfectly sized holes for insistent biting teeth and claws, also head/face/neck/elbows

that's great, you gonna survive a summer in it? or what about constantly moving from that horde? they will definitely exploit any and all parts fo the armor that aren't covered in solid steel
Chainsaw's a good option until you run out of gas, then you're f****ed. I probably choose a Light Machine Gun, since it has plenty of ammo and you can kill them from a decent range. Or a Katana (or some sort of blade), purely because it has unlimited ammo (obviously).
Teeth do rot. I don't know what world you live on where they don't. Once there's contanimates on teeth such as plaque, it will continue to eat through until nothing is left unless you clean or preserve the teeth.
You telling me zombies are gonna be flossing?
And I didn't mean computer game safe zones, there are plenty of areas just on my street alone where I could fortify and make it reasonably safe to sleep in. For example, there's a hire shop down the road with a chainlink fence, solid concrete walls, a ladder to the second floor and barred windows.
