Hunting for what? Birds? Deer? Turkey?
18" barrel is fine for home defense. It could be used for deer hunting (though accuracy will suffer unless you get a rifled barrel). The 18" barrel is too short for bird hunting. The barrel can, of course, be easily swapped for a longer barrel.
Yes, 870 express shotguns are excellent shotguns.
