Default barrel twists

I'm brand-new at muzzleloading(at the research level before buying). I know basically that rifleing twist affects the spin of the bullet.I am going for a flat shooting trajectory since I use a .243 in centerfire.It seems that most of the current in-liners have a 1in 28" twist.One rifle touts muzzle velocities exceeding 2,650 fps with that twist(T/C Super XR .45 Rifle). Another one I'm looking at has a 1in20" twist with the same length barrel-26" (Lightning™ .45 cal. Long Distance).
Will the 1in20" provide even greater muzzle velocity and/or trajectory? Does a faster twist cause more recoil? One more gun I'm considering is:CVA Firebolt 209 Ultra Magnum.Any reviews on this gun?
It's open season on these questions-pro and con.
Thanks for the education.
