Higgy laid it out right for you.
Beretta 390's and 391's are without peer. Having said that I love my little browning 20ga auto.
For clays use you want a heavier gun. Kids should have autos for recoil reduction (actually it spreads the impact out, only weight can reduce it).
Pumps are a lousy choice for clays use. All the negatives of an o/u with zero of the benefits.
O/U's are beautiful to look at and fun to shoot. Beretta and Browning are the working man's standard here. Each fits a bit differently and they used different receiver designs (one shallow one deep) so you may pick one up and say 'this is it' and the other makes you feel awkward. Understand that they kick and if you fall into waterfowling you will be scratching, denting and otherwise abusing your prize.
Recommendations for Model 12's, 101's, fixed choke superposeds, 1100's, A-5's and the like are based in nostalgia rather than functionality.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
