I'm about 6'4" so the 12 gauge is what I need

One has nothing to do with the other - get a 12 because you want it, it offers loadings you want or need, not because it is just a 12. (The same holds true when folks think they need to get a wife/GF a 20).
12 gauge is more versatile - more ammunition types for many purposes. It can be loaded as light as a 20 or 28 easier then they can be loaded up like a 12. It is more popular for HD, waterfowl hunting, turkey and deer hunting, sporting clays, trap, and other uses, making it a great choice - all of which have nothing to do with someone's size.
Get what feels right, and fits - then go out and shoot a lot; and when you're done, buy more ammunition and shoot some more
