My favorite is 2 3/4" heavy loads in a 12 gauge. 3" #4's for a 20 gauge. They're tough birds and I don't like chasing them. It's bad enough walking for miles looking for them.
#6 lead is said to be the best ever duck killers on our planet by ducks Unlimited years ago...now it's all complicated in regards to waterfowl & effective shot.
Never gone after pheasant but know what I would take
