A semi-auto and 12Ga with milder 1 1\8oz loads tuned to a slower powder would be my guess as the best bet for your partner...IMHO.
I love the 20 gauge, especially in a double or U\O, but I believe it will wound more ducks than you kill ...except over decoys maybe at shorter ranges for ducks.
Congratulations and good and safe shooting to you both.
[Wish my partner could shoot with me ....!]

If we shooting sportspersons don't hang together... we will all hang separately !
Never knock another's different shooting interest or discipline...REMEMBER we are all but leaves on the same tree of freedom.
