20ga. vs. 12ga. for home defense

There is some good info on this subject in the rec.guns FAQ's on the Defensive Use of Firearms:

I personally prefer a 20 over a 12, cause you get about 80% of the lead of a 12 at about 65% of the recoil. My primary HD is a 20ga Nova. I think the 16 ga 870 is probably the best all around shotgun anyone could want - nice to see them being made again.
