honestly it doesn't matter, but i would go no smaller than #4. DO NOT use slugs, buckshot are ideal...good spread and you'll devastate the intruder. Slug would too, but i'd rather a spread than one inaccurate glob of lead out of a shotgun.

You're not getting a spread inside of 20ft in a house. Anything you hit with a 20ga slug and larger... a hand, a foot, a leg, arm or head... is getting blown clean off.
Now... slugs might also kill people two houses over... so, choose wisely based on your particular situation.
