is there an advantage on using a rifled barrel shotgun with sabot slugs rather than a smooth bore shotgun with standard slugs?

Not unless you are hunting in fairly open country and have a rifle sighted or coped gun and a potential for 150 yard shots.
Smoothbore and a selection of chokes in the gauge of your choice gives you the option of using everything from #9 shot for dove to slugs for deer, bear and hogs. I scoped my 20 gauge put in an IM choke and its good for turkey with #4 shot to 35 yards and with slugs on deer out to 100 yards using 2 3/4" shells.
16 or 12 gauge same story, my slug barreled gun sits in the rack collecting dust because my smooth bores do the job and does it cheaper
