"...can better defeat heavy clothing..." Nonsense. No normal clothing, regardless of how thick it is, will stop any kind of shot.
4 Buck is favoured because of the number of pellets it has. There are 21 to 24 in 2.75" shells. 41 pellets in a 3" mag. Nothing to do with penetration or any other internet inspired silliness. More pellets means there's a greater chance of one of 'em hitting your target. And one is enough.
