I've shot a BPS almost exclusively for several years.

Leif's comments are bang on, in my experience. I've read that the BPS is harder to reassemble if detail stripped for cleaning, and I know Browning recommends that you don't do it yourself.

My alternate is my old Ithaca 37-much like the BPS, maybe an ancestor, but I prefer the top tang safety on the Browning.

Yes, the BPS is a bit more expensive than the others you named, but over the life of the gun, it's maybe the price of a Big Mac once every few months, if that. With a bit of care, your granchildren will shoot it.
