12 ga. For sure bud.
Only reason I'm taking my 20 is because the 12 still needs to be fixed and wife ain't gonna let me have my new 12 before Xmas.
I usually use #4 shot, but some go heavier.
3" kills em deader.

Either will work but go with the 12 gauge. Are you using a pump or semi?

If you miss with the 12 or the 20 it wont really make much difference. If you hit with either, you will get your game.
