Mike, most guys load STS/Gun Clubs a lot more than 3 times. Or at least I do. AA 12's, I couldn't say. Haven't loaded any in quite some time--although I like them in 20ga. But mostly you pitch 16ga hulls sooner because you have to (starting to split, etc), not because you want to. Of course you can also pick up once fired Gun Clubs etc some places for nothing if you dumpster dive or walk around the field, in 12 or 20ga. Harder to score once fired 16's for nothing.
I use mostly Claybuster wads in both 12 and 20. Around 1.6 cents buying them at club volume prices. That's almost a penny a shell advantage right there, compared to 16's.
I adapted by reloading only for the 12 and the 20, giving up completely on the 28 and picking up factory promo loads for the 16 whenever I spot them at a relatively reasonable price.
