Horses for courses really , not much noticeable difference between the two . For the last nineteen years I've shot a silver pigeon game gun with 28" barrels choked quarter and half , it has been used for all types of game/rough shooting including pigeon shooting and bolting bunnies , plus I have fired 1000's of cartridges at clays for fun/practice and competitions including events such as the British Open.
Pick a gun , handle it , have confidence in it and you will hit most of what you aim in front off, most of all enjoy it and spread the word.
