You didn't say if you were using a pistol grip - so I'm assuming you have a full butt stock. My preference would be for he 20" with iron sights. Remington iron sights bead up very quickly when you pull it to your shoulder.
At 25 feet I doubt you'd see much difference in accuracy between the two, at 50 yards the iron sights should hold a better and more consistent group. *Make sure you're only shooting foster style slugs out of that smoothbore. The newer sabot slugs are made for a fully rifled barrel.
