The longer the barrel, to a point, the further you can be accurate because of higher velocities from the same ammo. Of course there are limits to this & you have to weigh the trade offs. I suggest if you are using it for your stated purposes the 20" would serve you better than the 16" but this is just my opinion. There are some folks on here that are doing awesome work with 16" barrels per their posts.
Where do you live? If you live up in the NE part of the country, you probably aren't talking about shooting longer distances. If you are here in the more open parts of the country, longer range shooting is much more prevalent. 100 yards? Just get the 16". 400 yds? Get the 20".
This is just my opinion. Others will I'm sure post theirs. Better is a pretty subjective word.
