Lazy,I use TruGlo' s Magnum Gobble Dot fibre optic sight system!Price is right,no screwing around with my gun,and more than that is more than adequate in getting the job done!

I use a scope. My eyesite isn' t as good as it use to be, and the scope helps me focus on the bird better. A scope also helps for you to keep your face down on the stock so as to see thru the scope. The draw back is that the scope does add a little weight to the gun, but I carry mine with a sling anyway.

I use a Pro Diamond 2X. I shot open sights for 18 years and have 3 turkey guns still fitted with open sights. The scope is an improvement over the open sights and I' ve had no problem taking a couple of running turkeys and even killed one that flew.

I' ve never used a scoped shotgun, but I can understand the advantages to a low powered scope. I' ve considered a red-dot type, but I' ve heard of problems with malfunctioning (batteries, etc), so I' m a little wary of those.
I like the fiber optic sights like the Tru-Glo, etc. Just a matter of how much $$ you want to spend and what style suits you. I' m trying the AllenTurkey Taker this year (similar to the Tru-Glo " True-Point" ).
I remember a couple of years ago I saw an ad for a sighting system (like a " heads-up" design) called Trijecon or something like that. It used tritium so it needed no batteries. But it was over $200! Ouch! [

I' ve tried the fibre-optic system and for me it was a complete failure using 2 different brands. My problem was it hit low , alot low. One type was made of plastic , the other was made of steel. Mind you, they had great visual aquistion and looked cool , but I went back to using the bead sight and cured what ailed me right then and there. Unless you have abit of difficulty with your eyesight , I suggest using the bead for awhile before going into the gizmos....practice is the key...up close and far back. I' m shooting a Winchester 120..28" vented barrel...Undertaker choke.
