-The Ithaca 37 Featherlight in 20ga is a good gun for smaller guys. It's light, shoots well and if you decide you want a bigger shotgun in the future, it is a good first shotgun for kids.
I shoot trap with the model 1100 and it is a solid gun. For hunting quail and dove I use the Ithaca, and it is still my favorite gun to shoot.
As far as the shotguns you mentioned I like the Mossberg for HD, it's a reliable gun that can be configured in a number of ways.
Just my 2 cents.
