Having used both of the guns you described and now owning a 3901, I love mine and haven't looked back since.
Disclaimer: Everyone should either own or shoot an A5 just to experience a historical recoil operated shotgun.
My first favorite trap gun was my Classic Trap 1100.
I later bought a nice Beretta O/U for trap.
A year or so ago on an impulse buy for a bargain, I bought a 3901 gas gun that looks like new for $400.
I keep finding myself shooting the 3901 over the O/U because it is less abusive to my shoulder.
I haven't had a single problem with the 3901. In fact, it is a tighter shotgun by far than my 1100. Neither gave me troubles. Get what YOU like and good luck!
