There is a BIG gap between the other three and the Winchester 1300. The Winchester 1200 was one of Winchester's first reduced cost guns after the changeover. They had a multitude of issues, not the least of which was breaking parts. The 1300 was better, but still far from perfect. Then followed the next design, the Speed Pump, and now we have the SXP - made in Turkey. With every iteration they have changed/upgraded some parts. The Remington, Mossberg, and Ithaca have been virtually unchanged action wise for over 50 years. There is a reason for that. With pumps you do not have any of the load flexibility or reliability issues you may have with an autoloader, and you don't change parts if it works and keeps working.
If you have a 1300, and you love it, and it has been trouble free, good for you, and I'm glad you are happy. But, that still does not change their history. To me they do handle and shoot well, and they don't look bad either.
