Me personally, I would go with the 11/87...but then again I live in Cali.

BTW, Slugs are plenty accurate at close range. Consider loading a slug every other round, or perhaps having a slug on a butpad sling? Hell, for that matter go ahead and load a full tube of slugs.

I'm pretty sure you're not concerned with overpenetration if you are considering a .223, so the slugs should be fine.
