I have a Mossberg 500 and my dad has a Remington 870 express. I like his 870 better. The Mossberg is a good gun, goes bang every time, just rattles too much. I like the location of the safety on the Mossberg better though.
 
I'm a Mossberg or Browning guy, had two Remingtons in my life, POS 700 with trigger issues. And an 1187 super magnum, broke after using it three times & I missed an opportunity to kill a piebald doe because of it. Will never buy another ever, straight up junk. I know guys love them, that's great just not the brand for me I guess. I like their ammo...
 
The Duck Commanders use Mossberg's now so they must be better than Remington's. They used Benelli's before that???????????
Up until 2006, the Duck Commanders used/promoted Browning's.
 
Like the top tang safety on the Mossberg way better than the safety position of the Remington, so my vote goes for Mossberg.

And for everyone screaming Benelli, I have a question for you... How come every Benelli (or other inertia-driven auto) I see with nice sexy wood has a crack on the forend/stock?
 
I can't believe this thread is still alive, I would not even use the Mossberg for a walking stick in the mud.

Mossberg is a price-point shotgun. It can be described as 'crude' at best. It works despite its flaws. It is what the no-frills 870 Express is slowly becoming. The newer 'rubberized' trigger group on the Mossberg gives you an indication of how they keep costs down, in addition to their sourced parts.

There are gas, short-recoil, long-recoil, and inertia operated semi-auto shotguns. Benelli is inertia driven. Cracked forends can be attributed to improper installation and swelling of wood from inclement conditions. I haven't seen a Benelli forend crack, just the old Auto5's, which had a tendency to crack if you tightened the forend nut too tight.
