I don't shoot any of the models you mentioned, but I do use both a 1927 Model 11 and a late 60s 1100. Both work well.
I particularly like the 11 as a woods gun. It's a bit long and a lot heavy, but I don't have to worry about marring the finish, since it doesn't have one anymore. It does have limitations, compared to modern guns. It has to be manually adjusted between light and heavy loads. The choke is fixed, rather than interchangeable. It shouldn't use steel shot, and can't use long shells. It weighs 9.5-10 lbs, instead of 7. It's fairly easy to stay within those limits, though, since steel sucks and magnum shells are a waste of effort in most cases. I like duck, but in small doses, so I don't buy waterfowl ammo by the case. For the little bit I shoot, Hevi-Shot is just fine, and works better than steel anyhow. The recoil rings are simple to adjust, if you know what you're doing. If you don't, I'm not sure you need to be playing with autoloaders at all. If you're bright enough to run it, it runs.
The 1100 is a different story. It's a good deal finickier than the 11. It likes to be clean, and it likes ammo that it likes. It can't be adjusted between loads, like the 11. However, it will cycle with anything from full power target loads on up, (featherlights need not apply.) It just cycles harder than necessary with really hot ammo. I've never had the dreaded O-ring problem, but I keep a few on hand just in case. I'm apparently the only 1100 user who can say that, and I can't stay lucky forever. The 1100 is a shade lighter than the 11, and is probably the softest shooting 12 on the planet. Mine wears a Limbsaver, laughably enough, so you can barely feel it fire. The 11 shoots softer than a fixed breech, but not as soft as a gas gun, and few gas guns are as soft as the 1100.
Modern guns are lighter, have choke tubes, are steel shot safe, and have variable valving in the gas system to automatically adjust for different loads. Gas guns are still finicky about cleanliness. Modern recoil operated guns, like Benellis, are obnoxious to shoot, but reliable.
In my opinion, what gun you pick has a lot to do with what you're picking it for.
Carry a lot and shoot a little, like upland hunting? I'll take a light SxS. Light and fast handling, recoil won't matter over just a few shots.
Carry a lot and shoot a lot? A modern gas gun, like a Beretta 390, Browning Gold or Maxus, or the Winchester SXWhatever. Light weight and soak up recoil.
Carry a little and shoot a lot? This is where I'll go old school. The big heavy old autos are great here. Personally, I pick the 11 for hunting from a stand or blind, and the 1100 for clay targets.
Tactical gun games, like 3 gun? Most people are going to the Benellis, if the can afford them. I'd probably use the 1100 to give it a try. I've shot one of those "inertia driven," Benellis, and I'd frankly rather shoot a pump.
