Default Which gun for high volume doves?

I am going on a high volume dove hunt in Argentina. I have been told 20 gauges are preferred guns rather than 12's because of less felt recoil. According to a recoil table by Chuck Hawks there isn't much difference in recoil between a 1 oz load with either gauge. I am thinking a 12 gauge auto will have less kick than a 20 gauge because it has more mass. I realize that the 12 will be heavier to lift over a thousand times per day, but I am in pretty good shape. Does anyone have any recommendations?[/align]
