You need to figure out if you want gas or inertia. I like inertia for the ease of cleaning. I can clean my Benelli in five minutes. Cleaning a gas gun takes much longer. If you choose inertia, go with Benelli. That's all I've shot for the last 20 years. I prefer the Montefeltro because I don't like the raised rib that is on the M2. I have a Montefeltro in 12 and one in 20. If you choose gas, the Beretta is a no brainer. Best gas gun I have ever shot hands down.
I would not own another Winchester. If you gave me a Winchester, I would sale it before I ever shot it. That way when the buyer ask me how it shoots, I can say I don't know I haven't shot it.
