Default bear slugs

I was fishing the other day on the state land that i also hunt on. I came across some bear tracks. I didn't think we had many bear in the area that i live in, but it's got me interested in bear hunting or at least having something to take down a bear if need be. I hunt with a 20 ga model 870. While i don't have a slug barrel i understand that i could shoot rifled slugs through my smoothbore. I was wondering what the bear hunters on this forum thought. Will rifled slugs be ok to shoot? I know remington, winchester, and federal all make rifled slugs in 20 ga, but which one would be the best to shoot?
