I think both are great designs and I've had both. I prefer the tang safety of Mossy to the crossbolt of the Rem but I like the slide release better on the 870. Personally, I would view "Remington" as a brand-new company making a known & vetted product but I have no idea how well they do it. I'm not usually standing in line to be a beta tester for a new company so if I had to pick I'd go with the 590, although I'd rather have a 500 for my purposes.
