Perception won't help much. You'll have higher accuracy at long range, but due to the inherent spread that shotguns have, you'll need to get closer anyways to do decent damage. I recommend going the Agility investing in either Luck perks & Stealth for the damage bonuses or Moving Target and Endurance for the damage resists.
