Been debating on whether or not to get sights for my 870. Know a good place/site to get them and which would you recommend. Pics would be appreciated. :)

Well, what are you doing with it?
There are many kinds, and there are none that are the best, except in that they might be the best for a specific purpose. And beads are the best choice for some applications, too.

Simplest and likely least expensive solution, and the most versatile to boot- just buy a used 20" smoothbore rifle sighted barrel. They turn up on eBay pretty often, or keep an eye out for one at your favorite FFL. If you want tritium night sights on it, no problem, you can get them aftermarket.

Other options get more costly, it will cost as much just to buy a good set of ghost ring sights as a good used RS barrel, if not more. Then you have to consider the cost of the gunsmithing to install them as well. And GRs don't come off with the barrel if you want to use the gun for wingshooting or claybusting by swapping to a longer barrel.

Like open deer sights? or ghost ring sights, When wal-mart sells the 870 they only sell it in the combo version with a deer barrel which includes sights.
Do you mean a rib on top? which of course should already be there or like the pin at the end or what sights?
