Ghost rings are the most overmythologized accessory in Shotgunnia. They are great for deer hunting, great for jungle fighting, and great for upping the income of manufacturers and installers.
On a pure HD shotgun they're not essential, and often not an advantage.
My two "Serious" shotguns have peep sights, but that's mainly because they double as deer tools with slugs. One has a Williams and the other an old Lyman target peep. Both have the apertures removed for that GR effect. At up to 50 yards or so, very fast and reasonably accurate.
BTW, a trained and practiced hand can do well at 50 yards with a bead and slugs.
As to the newer "Designer" sights, they tend to be more expensive, more model dedicated, and oft more durable, tho not always.
No sight system beats a bead for speed, tho the peep comes close.
Otyhers may differ, but I think the preponderance of input you'll get is that a bead's fine for that mission.
HTH....
