Help me, I've fallen and can't reach my shotgun!

A while back I bought a Mossberg 500A,
28" Accu choke 12 gauge 2&3/4" and 3".
Picked up synthetic stock kit for it, and now seek advice from you combat shotgunners.

What barrel (factory) would you put on the gun for its home defense, and combat match duties?

An 18.5" slug barrel with rifle sights looks very appealing at $88.00, or should I go with a 24" barrel equipped with the same sights for the same price?

Would the adverse effect on patterns of a rifled barrel be acceptable, and is the rifling of true value with slugs? What barrel length? Why?

In all the years I have been shooting this is my biggest lack of experience, I actually have more rounds through a cap and ball revolver than a shotgun!

Help?

yours in marksmanship
