G2PRO should have much more durable and "shine-resistant" PBT caps, so I would go with that.

They're both good, very similar boards, the only difference would be the G2 has LEDs on the WASD keys. Also I think that version of G2 has ABS(common) caps.

Abs and pbt are just 2 types of plastics used. PBT has a harder more defined feel to it, Abs can feel a bit softer.

Double shot is just how the lettering is done on the keycaps. They're basically 2 colors of plastic molded together."Single shot" would just be 1 color plastic with printed lettering.

so is the Ducky 1087 an ok choice from the 2?

Honestly, either one you'll be very happy with,it just depends on your keycap preference.  Ducky makes a very nice, solid board for the price range and even better than a few that I've used that cost a bit more. I own a shine 3, zero and a mini and the build quality is top notch for a cherry switch board.
