I got a Benelli M2 last year and have been using it alot this year shooting trap and sporting clays. It has been working out really well. The Berreta is gas operated and the Benelli is inertia operated. Both are great shotguns. I say go with whichever fits you better. My buddy has the Urika, and the few times that I have shot it, the buttalways seems to hitmy cheek hard. Recoil seams to be equal between the two.
