Shoot whichever you feel the most comfortable and practice with.
My preference varies depending on the target.....
-Upland game a 20 or 410, particulary when hunting over a well trained dog, which I no longer have. If I'm walking fields and fence lines for hours at a time I find the weight of a 20 or 410 to be more friendly as the hours pass by. I like to think I'll fill my vest with dead bird's rather than a heavier shell. Unfortunately it's a rare occasion that I fill my vest with birds....
-Waterfowl and any type of clay bird shooting I like a 12
-Home defense I keep a 12 within reach along with a load I practice with. Ideally I hope I never find out if a 12 is the right choice....
It's been quite a while since I fired a 16 or 10. I haven't paid attention on what's readily available in 16 loads. Ha...don't even look for 10's on a retail shelf.
What 16 are you shooting?
