I’ve been shooting a variety of off the rack guns for 45 years, most of which have LOP of around 14.25-14.50”; when I got into double guns I
had many outfitted with recoil pads and brought the LOP to 14 7/8”-15”. I’d say I shoot the universe of guns I have relatively well, regardless of LOP…I think other aspects of proper gun fit are equally important. I’ve never been fitted, probably should…I guess I gravitate to the guns I shoot best. I probably carry my benelli ultralight 12 more than any other, partly because I pheasant hunt a lot, and I like 3 shots…that gun is very lethal for me, it’s around 14 3/8” LOP, but of course I’ve got more clothing on now vs early September hunting prairie grouse with a double with 15” LOP. I’d look at guns you’ve shot decently in the past as a starting point.
