Rem SP-10 or Browning Gold 10?

[Kestrel]

I was looking at a Rem SP-10, 10 gauge today, with 26" barrel. Is this a super reloable, durable gun? How does it compare to the Browning 10 gauge? (The Browning has an aluminum receiver and I wonder how it would hold up to the 10.)

Also, is 26" sufficient for a 10 gauge? This gun was in a Remington factory camo finish. Is this more corrosion resistant than their standard finish (matte)? I called Remington and the lady in customer service said no, but that doesn't seem right.

Thanks for any help,
Steve

I've decided to get the SP-10. The camo version only comes with the 26" barrel, I found out.
