I'm late to the party; all the good answers are taken, but I'll say:
12 or 20: either will work, as long as you do you part.
An O/U will likely be easier to carry in the field (overall weight and balance of the gun)
Practice with whatever you're going to use. Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays. If possible, practice form a gun-down position.
As for ammo, ask the people that you're hunting with what they recommend.
Practice. Get used to taking the safety off (it's funny to watch experienced shooters lose a target or bird, because they forgot the safety. Less funny when you do it. )
Practice: Remember, at the Trap or Skeet range, you can call for another bird - not so much in the field.
That's it.
