For me, the Beretta 391 Extrema. It's not pretty, but if I wanted a good looking gun I wouldn't choose an auto anyway. It's been drop dead reliable with light trap loads, as well as heavy 3" loads, and it'll take 3 1/2" though I never saw the need to use them. Recoil even with 3" loads isn't bad (thinking back to memories of my Benelli) and it's easy to break down without a lot of little parts to go missing (like O rings).
