Try #4 buck, better pattern.

At a typical defensive range, it doesn't matter... The pattern is less

#4 will shoot through both sides of a car at close range,
has 41 pellets in a 3 inch 12 gauge, 25 in a 2-3/4. The 00
and 000 buck has more energy per pellet, but the smaller
size of #4 give more energy on target because of more hits.
Personally, I use $5 birdshot since I live in an apartment
and don't want to have lots of big pellets going through the
walls that I'm responsible for.

If I lived in the country, I'd have an M4 or SOCOM handy.

I've thought that T steel would be good, lots of penetration
and "non-toxic" so you could say in court, "I did not want
to give him lead poisoning." Besides easier for the surgeon
to remove, with a magnet.
