Default RE: Slug accuracy?? which is better??

All depends on your gun and what distances you want to shoot. At 50-75 yards most will probably shoot fairly well. Once you get to 100 yards things get a bit dicey and the guns get pretty picky.

Most rifled shotgun barrels don't care for the light fast projectiles. They just don't have enough twist is what I would guess. Try to stay around 400 grns or more and around or under 1700 fps. That doesn't mean all guns are like that though, some do pretty well with the faster stuff. Never hurts to try if you can afford it.

NEVER go by what the package says. There is NO WAY they can guarantee accuracy in any way shape or form. Every gun is different and will like different ammo. You just have to experiment until you find something you like.

I would try Hastings, winchester BRI and the platinums (those babies kick!), and some brenneke. Lightfields wouldn't be bad to try either.

Just some suggestions any way.
