As previously mentioned a ton of experience with both the Mav 88 and the Rem 870. If you're a lefty you should also look at the BPS, it's a bottom eject which is a nice feature.

I like Mossberg's safety because I'm a lefty.
Once concern I've heard is aluminum receiver wears out over the long haul.
870 is on old reliable.
If you can swing it, go for the semi.
1. Human over population
2. Government burden and overreach

My wife has an SA08 20 ga, I shoot it for ducks as well, great gun cycles flawlessly, handles well, nothing but good to say about it. I have also had a few 870s the older Wing Master are great guns the Express are hit and miss on quality.

"BORN TO HUNT"
Foxton's Cuervo Gold "KEELA" Oct. 2004-June 2017. Always in my blind and my heart.
coolest dawg in town
Mossberg 835, BPS, 870 are the pumps i have hunted.
835 was too heavy and it is similar to the 500 as i remember, with Mossberg watch the weight. The 88 is a lighter Gun amd 303Brit seems to do well woth it!
870 Ran 2-3/4" beautifully but the Hulls sometimes hung up on 3" loads
BPS was the best of them all, have a look at it. I know its not on your list but it should be looked at. It was also easier to police your empties they landed at your feet and not in the grass off to the side.
Cant speak on the rest.
just so you know as well... i hunted them all extensivly for Upland birds.... untill i got my 20Ga.
