yea, i mean if you can shoot a 12 gauge than i would use that over a 20 anyday, but if you cant, a 20 will work

The 10 gauge pretty much feathers and skins the duck for you. Very handy.

Go with a 12 guage and a longer light barrel. You don't want anything less than 22 inches because the recoil will about knock you over depending on height, build, etc. I recommend the 12 because its something that you can grow into and also use for turkey, etc.
