How effective is body shot on a turkey with a mechanical broadhead? Do they work well? Have many turkeys been lost? Or should I just go with the Magnus Bullhead or the Guillotine.

Pretty effective. Go to the bottom of this page for where to aim -

If you want to do the headshot thing with a decapitator type broadhead, I would go with the Magnus. It's more accurate (very important in the turkey headshot game), and more durable.

Go fixed blades. The kill zone is so small on a turkey that a mechanical can easily be deflected out of the kill zone by a wing bone. Mechanical heads will float through a body at the whim of the loose blades and exit god knows where. A fixed blade will cut and exit where shot.
Stay away from mechanicals.
