Slug confusion - can someone please explain them to me!

I recently bought a used 12-gauge Mossberg 500A shotgun with the 18" home defense barrel and standard 5-round tube. I found a 28" vent rib ported barrel with removable choke at a pawn shop and bought that too.
So, I have my home barrel, my trap/hunting barrel and I was thinking of getting a slug barrel and realized I know very little about slugs and barrels.

Should I shoot sabot's or "regular" slugs.
Do I need a smoothbore slug barrel or a rifled barrel?
Which is more accurate?
Which slug is more economical?
Is there such a thing as a rifled choke to replace the choke in my existing 28" barrel? And if so, what slugs would I use?
