I myself am shopping for a shotgun and I plan on getting a Remington 870 Express Synthetic with the 2 shot extension, preferably one with the older style stock set, as they recently released a new version with different grip cuts. Still, the furniture woldn't be a dealbreaker if the gun was in good condition. This would be the shotgun I'd recommend over anything else. It's a bit heavier than other options, and only holds 7 rounds, but it's build quality, track record and handling make up for it.
My runner up would be a Mossberg 590. It's still wobbly, but you have 2 more shotgun shells to make up for it. Very few shotguns will actually hold 8+1 and this is one of the lucky few. If it's good enough for the military, it's good enough for you and me.
