Benelli by far, but an Rem 870 or Mossberg for less money will out do a Saiga 12ga anyday.
Balrog,the Benellis,either the inertia(M1/2) or gas(M4) do not function reliably with the low recoil or so called tactical loads.Cheap wally world promo loads run fine in both my M1S90 and M4S90.I find the Sellier&Bellot OO loads recoil less than most American full power OO loads but cycle fine in both my Benellis.
Also,the interia Benellis do not like alot of crap hung on them.Things like side saddles,flashlights,lasers,etc "may" affect reliability.YMMV.
The low recoil loads were designed for pump/slide action shotguns,not semi-autos.These loads will not function reliably in my 11-87P as well.
You want full power loads in buck,slug and shot.

I just put a box of low brass 8 shot through my M2 about 2 hours ago. It ran just fine.
Yesterday, I shot a box of low brass 8's and a box of high brass 4's ( ammo I had laying around for years). I even mixed the loads; all shot well with no problems at all.
Not really. That is like comparing a revolver to an auto. There is always the chance of short shucking a pump. Pumps are more difficult to operate in many shootng position also.pump is always more reliable than semi auto.
Until then, S12 is not reliable.
