I've always had a soft spot for the big 3 pump guns: various Winchesters (old model 12, 1300 Defender, etc), Remington 870 (3" Magnum rifled slugs fired as fast as possible through an 870 Wingmaster is great percussive therapy...), and the Mossberg 500/590 series. Forced to choose i went with the Mossberg because its a happy medium. No matter what I'm feeding it, no matter what joint is sore or which arm is dominant due to any given day's injury listing the Mossy is easy to adapt to. If I'm not close to medical care or even if I slept on my arm in an awkward position on top of a tree root I want the Mossberg so I can still kill stuff easily with my off hand on the trigger and a numb arm working the pump.
