If money wasn't an issue

I'd go with the benelli....it's a very nice auto, comes with 6 different chokes, can be had in left hand, comes with shims to fit the stock to you, excellent hard case holds everything plus some ammo...but the $1,300 price is a bit steep for occasional use. Shotguns are a strange contraptions. If they don't fit you, you will have helluva time making wing shots. I grew up with an ole savage bolt action 20 ga...an I'm still deadly with it. Now I'm partial to Ithaca 37's. I tried a couple auto's, but during crunch time, I'd shoot them, try to pump dang thing for 2nd shot. I'm just a pump guy pure 'n simple. Hardly ever need a 2nd shot with the 37's.
