Figure out how much you want to spend and what gauge would be most beneficial for your needs. The future value of your Parker depends on three things condition,condition,condition.
Educate yourself to the best of your ability before spending any money and look at as many guns as you can either on line or in person. If it's possible attend SXS events such as the Southern to actually handle these fine guns. Even if you don't shoot the ability to see hundreds of Parker's (yes that's right hundreds) is worth the trip.
You can shoot the clay target games with any gauge you want to. I typically use the same guns I bird hunt with. Small bores cost more than a 12 but they also resell for more. A 12 vs a 20 will come back to that budget thing.
There are a lot of if's in this but the folks here are all glad to help you just have to ask the questions.
