looking at remington 870 with 20in barrel or should i go with the 26in. This is in 12ga. just not sure how the 20 barrel will perform. any thoughts appreciated
26 might give better patterns and a bit more velocity. Also a longer sight plane if you're using bead or open sights. 20 will be lighter and more maneuverable (but not really by much). I use 24" barrels most of the time but I have never felt handicapped when using longer barrels. I would say go with what feels good.
I would go with the 20" if you are just dedicating it as strictly a turkey gun. Otherwise go with the 26" for an overall killing everything gun.

I'd do the same.
If it's gonna be a dedicated turkey gun I would definitely go with the 20".
I love mine. As far as performance I think the 20" does just fine. I put 240+ in 10" circle at 40yds shooting 3" longbeards #6s with a hevi-shot .662 choke.
Thanks yes it's going to be a dedicated turkey gun I have an A-400 for everything else
