Welcome
Just in case you didn't know, only use sabot slugs in rifled barrels. Rifled slugs are for smooth barrels.
I think for hogs you would want a heavy slug that is also quite hard so it will penetrate piggy armor. I don't know which slug has the hardest lead, so that might make for a fun experiment for "scientists" here on TFL.
I'd grab some Federal Classic, Remington slugs and the brands you mentioned and shoot at 25 and 50 yards to see which one shoots to point of aim and groups reasonably well.
If you are going after really big pigs, I used to use a 3-inch mag 1.25 ounce Federal rifled slug. This was before I switched to a Hastings rifled barrel and used copper sabots. The 1.25 ouncers are complete overkill for deer, but would be fun on huge hogs. Be warned, those really kick if you can still get them.
Welcome again
