I don't think there is a perfect all around powder for those 4 gauges.

If I had to stick to one powder Green Dot would be my first choice, 700-X second choice.

GD works well with 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 10ga, 1 and 1/8 ounce 12ga. In 10 and 12ga it provides both velocity, payload and lower pressures. It does OK with 3/4 and 7/8 ounce 16ga and 3/4 ounce 20ga but pressures are high in both these gauges.

There were some older published loads for 700-X that have been taken out of print. Published loads today have pressures with 700-X in 20ga are at the max 11-12K with Federal hulls only.
