I've been considering a shotgun for home defense and would love to hear what you all think. I'm stuck between a 12-gauge and a 20-gauge. I get that the 12 has more stopping power, but I've read that the 20 might have less recoil, which could be better for indoor use. What do you all suggest?

Also, what should I keep in mind for barrel length and stock setup? Any specific features that are crucial in a home defense situation? I'll take any brand recommendations too. I'm looking for something straightforward and reliable.

Finally, how critical is training? I've had some shotgun experience but nothing intense. What kind of practice would you guys suggest to really be ready?
