The 3 1/4 - 1 1/4 load is the Gold Standard, in my humble opinion.
I used to shoot box birds once a week, and did so for quite a few years. Estimated 40,000+ birds over my "career".
My go-to load was the Federal Flyer, or Gold Medal in the above settings, only with #8 shot.
Towards the end of my active pigeon days I switched to an 1 1/8th oz, and never saw any measurable difference.
Shot a 29 x 30 at Eversull's for the championship with that load. Calcutta Day, BTW.
Tight chokes rule!

Also quite possibly the finest load ever for decoying ducks before the insanity of the steel shot mandate for waterfowl hunting.
