I think it depends on what you like and what you don't.
I bought an 870 and like it a lot. A lot. The two things driving my choice were the trigger guard safety location and the comparatively quieter fore-end.
Mossy lovers, of course will tell you they bought theirs because they like the safety location on top of the reciever.
My 870 doubles for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense (er, is that "triples?"). For a stealthy kind of hunting situation, Remington, in my opinion, is a lot quieter gun to have with you. The fore-end of Mossy's rattle too much for me.
