3" with #5 shot is what I use for most of my small game. I was raised with a 20 ga. and you should have no problems. IC to mod chokes over dogs work great. I use an over/under 20ga. for grouse with these chokes although in the IC barrel I usually use 2 3/4" #5. The only thing with a 20 ga. is there is not much room for error.
From my experience...pheasant farms equal up and close shots with birds. My 12 guage has blasted a few well past the point of eating (not proud of that.....just saying). I think a 20 is fine. I have a friend who is an absolute die hard bird hunter. Spends almost every day out. His preferred gun is a 20 (even for geese). Case in point....a 20 will do the job...
