Since you mentioned waterfowl, I would look at 12 gauge.  It is an all around shotgun load with many, many different shells available. 
As for specific guns, I like autos--Benelli and Browning.  The Browning A-5 has a gas ring that changes the recoil cycle depending on heavy vs. light loads to eat up recoil.  Can usually find good deals on them.

No one in there right mind shoots 3" magnum loads to shoot trap or skeet regardless of whether they are shooting a pump, s-auto or double gun.  If you are more than 130 pounds you will care less about recoil in a trap, sporting clay or skeet gun.  If it was a big deal no one would shoot double guns for clays.

no one shoots 3" shells for trap and skeet because they are illegal, trust me if people could shoot 3'' 1 1/2 oz loads they would, i know i would especially at major events
