8 vs 12 gauge. Is there any practical difference in this setting?

The biggest reason is that you will have the best results with what you train with. You will train with what you can afford to shoot. Pistol caliber carbines are cheap to buy and ammunition is cheap. If you're worried about over penetration, you can use frangible ammunition or tailor your ammunition to what you need. PCCs are light and simple to use. Also depending on your legal situation, you could use subsonic ammunition with a suppressor to protect your hearing.

The downfall of a PCC is that it won't penetrate body armor, but a shotgun won't either.

Bottom line is, whatever you get, go use it and get comfortable shooting, reloading, room clearing, and addressing malfunctions. Ideally find a PCC/ammo combo that malfunctions rarely.
