With so little information provided, at first I thought this was a trick question. I've never seen #7 shot -- tons of #7-1/2s but no #7s. However, Midway shows two Fiocchi loads with #7 shot. One's a 1-1/4 oz load at 1350 fps and the other is a 1 oz at 1200.
Slugs are typically shot with similar masses to bird shot, but at higher velocities. Consequently slug loads have significantly higher muzzle energy than bird shot loads. Higher muzzle energy equals more felt recoil. My vote goes to the slugs.
