People like what they like. I have 26 inch and 28 inch barrel bird guns. I hit or miss equally well with both. As long as weight of gun is between your hands and maybe a tad forward I don't think barrel length makes much difference if gun points where your looking and you have footwork and gun mount dialed in. I think there was a stigma with older guns is that if you wanted open chokes it had to be a 26 inch barreled gun.
As far as gauge and round, its hard to beat a 16 and 20 gauge in grouse woods with a proper load. Really like 28 gauge going after plantation quail but just feel a bit under gunned with a 28 gauge going after grouse.
Wild quail back to 16 and 20 gauge.
