RE: semi or pump-HELP!
I vote for the pumps. Both that you mentioned are fine guns for a reasonable price. In fact, I' m considering picking up a BPS myself because it fits me so much better than my current pump. With practice, you can work the pump quickly enough for a second shot or a double with no problem and with the correct load recoil is not an issue (unless you really want hot loads). I will catch some flak but I can' t think of a reason to pay the extra money and endure the extra work in cleaning, not to mention have a more complicated gun. I' ll stick to pumps and doubles.
