What's More Important- Pressure or Shot Weight/Velocity?

Looking at obtaining a non damascus 16 ga and would plan to reload for it. In order to not crack the stock I've read how one should use low pressure 7-9ksi loads as well as 1 oz loads at 1,200 fps. I see loading data that produces 1 oz at 1200 fps with pressures approaching 10ksi as well loads that are 1 1/8 oz at 1200 fps with pressure of 7.7ksi. What's more important to not beat up the gun- pressure or the shot weight/velocity?
