It is important to note how sloppy a sector is in the gain it achieves.

If larger vertical beamwidth and cleaner edges are important in your deployment, it's going to perform better... If you're doing longer distance, lower density shots where you want as much gain as possible, and vertical beamwidth isn't important, the 20db sector is most likely going to work better.

A horn will have a much larger vertical beamwidtg and cleaner edges, but this is at the cost of gain. OTOH, the larger the gain, the larger the antenna. This is all just general antenna stuff, is there some metric or reasoning you're looking for in particular? It's all mostly relative.
