I'm likely far less experienced than you, but I'd argue that a 20 in a gas gun is the best way to start as long as the gun fits. The reason is that the kid, with #9 shot and open chokes, has a far better chance of success at breaking a target and that's when the magic starts. 28 is so hard to hit and punchy, and a .410 forget it, no chance to hit anything.
