You pays your money and you takes your choice. I was pheasant hunting this weekend and had to choose between using my 20 ga. Browning A-5 (auto loader) or my 12 ga. 870. I chose the Browning because it points more naturally for me and I shoot it better. I filled out my bag limit. When the hunt was finished, we shot clays with both guns. I dusted more with the 20 gauge than the 12. Again, because of the gun and which one I shoot better, not the gauge. I know hunters who take deer with a 20 gauge slug. It's your choice.
As for home defense, I think it makes not a whit of difference. I wouldn't particularly care to get shot with either of them.
Like the pheasants, it would be very unimportant to me which gun I was shot with.
