I'd use 2 3/4 for the simple reason that you can get an extra shot or so in there,

Actually, in my mossberg 500, it has some mag tube left after (5) 2 3/4 but not enuff to cram a sixth in there... It also holds (5) 3 inch shells. Many guns are the same in this regard. I do not know any that hold a higher round count with 2 3/4.
Math math doesn't support this either. 5 x .25 (1/4 inch) is 1.25 inches (happens to be the length of free play in my mag tube with 5 x 2 3/4)... not enuff to fit a 2 3/4 shell.
