I generally like longer barrels for everything. On small bore quail guns, 28-30 inch barrels are ideal. My main trap gun used to be a Beretta 391 Teknys with a 32" barrel. I've also got a Rizzini for sporting clays also has 32" barrels. My favorite dove gun was a Victor Sarasqueta SLE with 30" bbls.
My short barreled guns are usually a little too whippy. But it really depends on the gun and how it feels and balances. But as a general rule of thumb, I like the longer barrels and more weight forward.
