I would probably go with the Remington 870 as they are still currently made and there are lots of parts out there should you need one. The Spas is a heavy complicated gun. IIRC, there was also a recall on the safety mechanism. The Winchester 1200 is a good gun too, just not made anymore so parts may become a problem down the road.

Just my $.02.
