Stick with your Italian Bs.
Benelli for semis, and Beretta or Browning Citori for O/U.
I like Citori White Lightning, if I were buying a clay gun today, and I would probably get it in 12, with the 26" barrels.
O/Us are probably the classiest, most detailed firearms in the U.S. market today, particularly mass produced, rivaled only by the old English side-by-side makers, for attention to detail, fit and finish, etc.
But, nothing quality is cheap - particularly O/U shotguns.

are you planning on shooting alot or twice a year or something? if you arent planning on shooting much I would get a cheap stoeger O/U with removable chokes.

Two weeks ago, there was a Beretta 12 gauge o/u in the Cabela's gun room for about $700. I thought hard about buying it.

I was going to suggest Ceaser Guerini or Rizzini. If you want to be closer to $1000, there is nothing wrong with CZ for O/U.

I have 2 browning o/u and my favorite is the 725 sporting with 30 inch ported barrels. I know people who bought stoger and they broke in first year

I'd say another option is a Ruger Red Label. They made some improvements to the new ones but mine has been flawless for nearly 20 years.

For an inexpensive OU thats not too bad check out a Lanber. They shoot well and are of decent quality, they're no 2000 dollar Beretta or Browning yet you can get them for for around 700 bucks with a set of chokes, ejectors, barrel selectors, nice wood etc. If you shoot a lot of clays you're going to wear this gun out faster than one of a better quality but its a good starting point. I added a stock extender to mine and can shoot it as well as my 686 Berreta now, you can find these all over the internet gun sites
