The only reason I would buy full power 00Buck over low recoil 00Buck is if I happened to have a semi-auto that wouldn't cycle the latter.
Luckily, I don't...my cyclinder choked 1100 cycles the low recoil stuff 100% and shoots sub-8" groups at 25 yards with Federal's FliteControl Tac 00Buck.

Our Mossberg shotguns shoot the Federal Tactical Buckshot like rifled slugs out to 15 yards and hold 8" groups all most to 25 yards. The fact we can put more pellets on target at greater distances sold me over any loss in energy over the same distance. At a recent NRA LEO instructors course the other students couldn't believe the groups I was shooting. :
The FC buckshot is the only reason my 590 came out of the safe as a defensive tool again.
I would recommend Federal FC for outdoors and LE use...
However, I also recommend Winchester Ranger 'Low Recoil' 00 Buck (RA1200) for HD... since a tighter pattern is unecessary IMHO for HD...

Just an observation when it comes to Winchester Ranger RA1200 or RA1200HD, their hardened non-plated 00-buck seems to be more resistant to deformation than the Federal copper plated shot. It isn't scientific, but I've crushed each type of pellet with plyers and the Ranger hardened shot will not pancake out at all. The core of the pellet is much harder than lead. However, when I crush the Federal copper plated shot the core is still soft and will flatten out more easily.
Also, the RA1200HD has a cup similar to the Fed flight control wad.

Hmmmmm....Both of these projectiles were fired at a
Russian brown bear from less than 20
yards. At left is the remnant of a 16
gauge shotgun slug of inferior alloy; at
right, a 7.62 mm FMJ rifle bullet. Both
penetrated less than three inches
beyond the great beast’s skin.
