Default 16 ga ammo

I finally have a 16ga VH and I need ammo for it. I'm not going to shoot it regularly so I'm going to shoot factory loads instead of reloading. It looks like I can buy Remington game loads with 1oz of shot locally, or I can buy RST's in either 7/8 oz or 3/4 oz. Considering I'm just getting over shoulder surgery, recoil would be a consideration and of course the 1 oz game loads would have more recoil than the RST's. There is also a cost difference, the game loads would be about $95 for a flat versus $125 for the RST. Has anyone shot the Remington game loads and are they a shell that has a lot of felt recoil? I realize everyone feels recoil differently.
