By the way do all single trigger setups on DRs and shotguns rely on recoil from the first shot to to set the trigger for the second barrel?

Be careful here. The suggestion that mechanical STs on double rifles are nearly universal just isn't true, and I wouldn't want an inertial ST on a DR. Further, many of the STs available on DRs are non-selective, which I wouldn't want either. For example, both the Merkel and the Chapuis single triggers are non-selective, and I believe both are inertial, although I'm not sure about the Chapuis.

Like a few on this post have indicated they do, I tend to use a fuller trigger finger contact on any firearm I'm using.

Same here, and I think that gives you a leg up. When I bought my first DR long ago, I had never fired a double with double triggers. My double shotguns were all SST. I had the same fears you have, in spades. I didn't think I could ever remember to switch triggers. I never had a hiccup, and have never had a double discharge.

I think I will avoid the brown stains and stick to single triggers.

The only rifles I've used for 20 years now are DT double rifles. My shotguns are still all double/SST. I switch back and forth without thinking about it, and never miss a beat. I wouldn't worry about it.
