to find out, Close your eyes, swing shotgun up in to a shooting position, for a bird, open your eyes, what you want to see, is just the front bead, you should be square with the rib, (centered), the rib should not show any of the flat, just a line. There is other stuff that comes into it, ie is shotgun comfortable to handle, feel natural.
Oh and 26" is my personal choice,

I am inclined to agree with yah.
