Since you asked for opinions, here ya go: Of the guns listed, the Browning is your better choice. But you are steering away from that. The new Ithacas, let's just say that the new ones are NOT the quality of the older ones. They did make a lot in 16 ga. which you like. The not so older 870s, which you do not prefer came in 16 ga. One to consider is the 16 ga. Winchester Mod 12. A lot of them in very fine shape are starting to surface at a good price. Cabela's in Wheeling always has several of them in stock. As for confusing what ammo goes in what gun, I know that you are smarter than that. I own and shoot all of the gages save for 8 and 32. I only let the gage be a deciding factor if I really wanted the gage in that gun. IE, my 870 Wingmaster in 28 ga. is a real upland sweetheart, light and quick. I would not want the same gun in a 12, too heavy. I, sure you'll figure out what you want.
