A good setup 12ga HD shotty with the right ammo [2 3/4] will hold 9 pellet 00 buck center mass on a Q target at 25 yards.
Home invasion situations is 5 to 7 yards on average.
Over penetration is possible but will not have energy or velocity after exiting BG to worry about.
Slugs for HD is a no-no imo.
If someone else will be using the HD shotty [wife, kids, elderly], 20ga would be my choice.
