There are a couple of good Sporting clay shooters that use 28 gauges, and seem to punch out longish targets as good as anything.
I think though probably a bit of experience on clays or game with a 'big' gun would pay good dividends.
I personally use a 16 ga. on game and they are a pleasure to shoot, just a matter of which one (U/O, SxS or auto) to use on any day.
Upland, pond and the like I reckon they would be a dream to use, but may I humbly suggest that you have some experience at shotgunning and game shooting.
12, 20 are definitely are more widely available, with more combinations of barrel length, stocks, and configurations, but of coarse it's your call.
