Various reviews I have read have differed on that

Is there something specific other than aluminum vs steel receiver that you think is more rugged in an 870? Not being argumentative, but I am looking for specifics to help me make a decision.

If it comes down to an 870 is always way better than a 590A1, it will save me a ton of money, as I already have 870s and won't have to buy anything. :)
