I had a Stoeger. Pretty nice gun. I finally gave it to my son. I heard the barrel lug can crack with heavy use. Mine never received that level of abuse and my son doesn't use it that much.
The SKB is a good one, can have issues with the inertia system. I had one slicked up pretty nice. Traded it for a Cold Gold Cup.
The Cadillac of them all is the Browning BSS, worked over by a CAS double gun pro. Still have one. It has a mechanical system and is about as bullet proof as any I've tried.
IMHO,
