What is the terrain where you'll be using the shotgun? With a smooth bore I'd use either Foster or Brenneke Slugs. Sabot slugs in a smooth bore don't have any spin to stabilize them and tend to keyhole and group poorly. You need to try differing brands as shotgun barrels will often shoot one better than others.
Here are a couple of fairly informative articles for general info:

Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
Like others have said, not sure of terrain and typical shot distance where you are located. Most shots in Upper Great Lakes don’t go much past 50y-60y. I can count on one hand with fingers left over the shots beyond 100y. You certainly may be hunting on the edge of a pasture or something that would drastically change this obviously. You definitely want to be humane, but a whitetail isn’t a T-Rex either. A slug of any kind in the boiler room is going to most likely drop them very fast if not immediately. I took a nice 6pt this past November with a .35rem at at about 70yds. He jumped straight up about a foot, landed like a sack of potatoes, and kicked once. Done. If you were hunting something that might bite back, I’d probably be a bit more picky on ammo selection but in your case, any slug you can keep on a paper plate at (pick your range) will be plenty.
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
Like you, the shots will be close as well. Flat, wooded areas. I’ll go get some slugs and try them with the chokes I have now.
Read before you buy a rifled tube, because my recollection is that there isn't much improvement.
