Generally Speaking here, and in my experiences, cylinder to improved cylinder barrels/chokes give the best results with the plain lead 'rifled' slugs. If your gun has swappable choke tubes, you can get a rifled choke, which will (again, generally speaking) give better performance with the sleeved slugs, AKA 'Sabot Slug'.
If you have a full rifled barrel, stick with sabot slugs ONLY. Rifling used with shot loads or plain lead slugs tends to lead up the rifling very heavily, and give a spin to shot loads with the shot cup, giving patterns with HUGE gaps in the center.
Pattern with what barrel/choke/ammo combination you are going to use, as Your Mileage Will vary...and every barrel/choke/ammo combo is a law unto itself.
