Ditto. I've worked in our local prosecutor's office last eleven years. Had a few shootings in that time, several that were ruled lawful self defense, some got prosecuted. Have been part of discussions during the decision making process. Not once has the question of what type ammo was used come up.
OP, to your question, you did ask what we think. Here's my two cents. If you think you need slugs in your home defense shotgun, you might consider learning to select a slug. It's how our local constabulary are trained. YMMV
