IMO you shouldn't worry about what other people think..Get whichever gun you feel comfortable with..You're 6'2" and 295 lbs, I'm 5'4" and 130 lbs after a good meal..I grew up shooting 12's so the recoil is natural to me..I'd get both if I had a gf living with me but I don't so I'ma stick with what feels natural to me..The 870 HD is a good 12 gauge and the Mossberg/Maverick line is top of the line as well as Winchester..Since you already have a couple boxes of 20 gauge ammo then get a 20 gauge..If you wanna expand then get a 12 and if you like it more then you have the option of 2 preminum shottys..
