For slugs, the 20 guage, in my experience, is slightly more accurate than the 12 guage. But as for recoil, that all depends. Shooting the medium recoil sabots out of a 12 will give you less recoil than a full bore 20, and a better trajectory.
Now, when we go to looking at the launching pads, there are differences there too. If recoil is getting to you, the Versa-Max, with the same payload and velocity, kicks less than the 20 by a noticeable difference. If I ever got so luck to go to Argentian for Doves, the Reduced recoil birdshot in the Versa-Max makes it seem like shooting a .22 compared to a 20 guage.
