The best barrel length, weight, and gauge? Just check the gun you shoot best and have the most confidence in and it will tell you the best configuration. But let's not forget that the never-ending search for an even better configuration is most likely why we are members of organizations like this.

I agree with that statement completely. Confidence is key. We all have our preferences based on which guns we have had the most success with. For me its longer barrels, for another it might be 24" barrels. We have different opinions based on individual experience. I find it fun to state my opinion and discuss it with others some of whom might disagree. But I am very careful to say "in my opinion" when I make a statement based purely on a perspective that doesn't lend itself to empirical evidence. It's all good.
