I have all three: Stevens 350, Mossberg and Remington.

The Stevens works well for me and is much more comfortable to shoot slugs in. And I like the fiber optic front sight. But it is hard to say how well it will hold up, since I only have a couple of hundred rounds of buck and slug through it so far. I got it has a "try her out" gun. I would go with a more proven model for a primary defense shotgun.

Also, you won't find the accessories such as alternate stocks, fore-end light mounts, or replacement parts as easily or in as great variety as the Rem or Moss.

BTW, my dad was a lefty and that is why he got the Mossberg 500. It has a tang mounted safety that is very handy for either right or left. He never had a problem with the right side ejection.
