It really depends on what type of situations that you think you'll encounter.
You can load some shotshell, but know that it won't kill. It will wound, and possibly set you up to make a kill shot afterward.
It's also difficult to remember which type of ammo you have chambered.
Instead of Dutch loading, I would maybe fill 1 speed loader with all shotshell, and then just rely on +P ammo as your primary.
But if you don't have any speed loaders, maybe load the first round with shotshell and the rest with +P.
Ballistics 101 has some good info as far as ammo goes, including a
muzzle energy calculator. Keep in mind that their figures will vary depending on your barrel length.
