So looks like you are looking at a pump to start. Good choice. Cheap and less to break down or go wrong. The Remington 870 is the biggest selling shotgun in history. It's inexpensive, rugged, works. Also used extensively by police and military so you know it holds up.
That said any pump shotgun from the mainline gun makers will be fine. You won't go wrong with a Mossberg or Winchester or Browning or Benelli, etc.. I'd be more concerned with brand if I was getting a semi-auto, but a pump... get what you like and what is available.
3 1/2" shell capability is nice but not required. Screw in chokes pretty much standard in new guns. Don't bother with an old gun that doesn't have it. pump shotguns are just too inexpensive new to have to settle for old ones that don't have today's standard features.
