A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.
