Default Shotgun for wife - Questions

My wife mentioned an interest in possibly wanting to go shooting sometime with me, so I was starting to look into what might be a good shotgun to get her. It would probably be used as a multi-purpose gun, depending on what she ends up getting into. Right now I have an 870 Express Super-Mag for just that purpose - multi-purpose.
So really, the only thing I have looked at was the 870 Express Youth. It's 20 ga. and also the 870 synthetic, which is (I think) an inch longer and is 16 ga.
What else is out there that would be good and at a decent price?
Should I look at the youth models, or go full-size? We haven't physically handled any shotguns for her yet, so I was just wondering.
Also, what are any advantages / disadvantages between the 20 and 16 guage?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Oh, and if it matters, she's about 5' 4" and about 115-120 (when she's not pregnant - Due in Feb) LOL
