Cajun;
Most organized studies I've read also conclude recommending #1 Buckshot or 0 Buckshot.

And remember, defense doesn't necessarily mean just IN the "home" defense, but could be in or also around, out, and about. You'll have to be the judge...

Instead of up to 15 yards with #2 SwanShot in your connected Town House apartment could one need to defend oneself elsewhere, at twice that distance and, if so, would I prefer #1 Buckshot? Darn right. Could it be at 45 meters and would I want 0 Buckshot? Affirmative!

As I've seen demonstrated, beyond 0 Buckshot just means less hit/multiple-hit probability and overpenetration/less wound track. So, I concur such would not be as effective overall. 0 Buckshot isn't so available. #1 is a little more so.
