If the only thing you're going for is stopping power, you might as well just keep a 20 gauge in the house. Furthermore, with birdshot loads, the projectiles won't whiz through a criminal, the wall behind him, and go on to strike a family member.
Another advantage, which is not to be discounted, is that the sound of the slide being worked on a pump-action shotgun is very intimidating. The .62 caliber bore of a 20 gauge is pretty scary if it's pointed at you, too.
