Success in hunting is rarely determined by the gun taken afield. Find a shotgun that goes to the shoulder easily and aligns your eye naturally and the rest won't really matter. Fit and feel are king with a hunting shotgun.
I have used both 12 and 20 gauges for pheasants and turkey, but the 12 gauge has more choices in ammunition from which to choose.
I have seen a lot of turkeys killed with chokes less than ultra full. Even hunt with a guy who has killed several 20+ pound birds with a single shot 10 gauge slug gun (no choke). I would take a modified over a full for all around hunting if choke tubes aren't available for the gun you finally decide to purchase.
My personal favorite is an Ithaca Model 37, especially the new ones coming out of Ohio.
