The real answer is, unfortunately: buy a box of each and pattern test them. Then use whichever patterns best in your gun.
My thought, as far as the ones you are looking at: you aren't talking about a 45-50 yard turkey gun, so retained energy per pellet at long range isn't a big factor here- not like it would be in a 3 or 3 1/2 inch 12. So, look for pattern density and an even pattern-which you'd more likely get with the 5 or 6 shot.
FWIW, my turkey gun (a 12 gauge) absolutely loves Winchester's #5 shot turkey loads.
