Novak the Chevy 350 of brushless.

Can't go wrong with the 870, tried and true gun in all forms.

I also love my glock 27 and would never trade down to a 9mm. I have pistols for protection and I want true stopping power. The glock design in and of itself is just pure genius. It is by far the simplest weapon I have ever had to break down and clean. In fact it is the only gun I own that I can completely strip down one handed. H&K's and Sig's are nice as well, but for me the bells and whistles just don't compare to the intelligent simplicity of the glock design.
