I picked for ergonomics and ended up with a 20ga 1300 over a 20ga 870. Reasons: better-positioned slide release (less likely to cause an AD from the finger slipping), smoother cycling (IMO) and the gun came with a truglo sight+sling swivels installed which meant less trouble for me. Further, the mag holds 7 without the need for gunsmithing an extension.
870 may turn out to be more durable in the long run, but a synthetic 1300 isn't bad.
