We've ran all sorts of loads from the most expensive to the bargin basement stuff, you need to shoot what patterns well in your shot gun. And they may not like the same brand. My berreta and Remmy both shoot heavy metal and fed premium really well . Neither would pattern with black cloud. For some reason and the Remmy didn't want to cycle with black cloud. My buddy's bennelli loves black cloud.
I own both 3" and 3.5" and find we shoot 3" 90% of the time, there are times when they don't commit quite aswell to the dekes as you would like and those 50 yrd opportunitys increase that's where the 3.5 is nice.
Good luck hope you dropp a few.
