I loaded some for geese. Pattern them.
When you see what the pattern is you may answer your question.
Some reloaders swear that a layer of big pellets on top hold a pattern tighter down range. I have not seen this effect.
I do feel that a really even pattern is more desirable in one shot size, but my hunting is less opportunistic than yours. We tend to go to a spot and are looking for a specific target because that is what is us. there.
