I would certainly recommend a 12 gauge for your wife. She will get frustrated with a 20 gauge. I think buy a cheaper gun for your wife and perhaps even yourself and see how much you two like it.
If you two start really enjoying it then upgrade to a better gun. I would even suggest getting one pump shotgun that you both share. After doing it a few times she may tire of it and not like it anymore. Before investing about $1,000 I think this would be a more prudent thing to do.
At my range when shooting trap you can only load one shell at a time. Therefore if you both enjoy just trap and not skeet you don't need a semi-auto or an O/U which are a lot more money.
I think start off cheap and see where your interests wander then you can get a shotgun that best meets your needs.
