Agree with Andy. If you're going to use a pistol grip or pistol grip + stock go with Remington because of the trigger guard safety. I use a standard stock on my Mossberg and the tang-mounted safety was one of the reasons I went with Mossberg over Remington (easier to manipulate while holding gun in shooting position with a standard stock). I also feel the placement of the pump release switch on a Mossberg is better.

As far as aftermarket, you can't get almost all the same add-ons. The one benefit Remington has as relates to add ons is the design of the front of its mag tube where the barrel nut attaches. Unscrew the nut, and the mag tube is open at top - allowing you to add a mag extension. With a Mossberg, the nut screws into the mag tube, which is basically "closed" at top except for the small bolt hole. Therefore you can't add an "extension" to a Mossberg mag tube. There is however an 8-round mag tube available for Mossberg, which uses a 20-inch Mossy barrel (Brownels sells the set new for $150). But this would then be a stand-alone gun - that barrel and mag tube must go together. If you want a long barrel later (hunting, skeet shooting) you'll need to also change back to the 5-shot mag tube. Of course, taking apart a Mossberg is super easy, so this switch isn't all that difficult. Remington probably is too, but I've never owned one.
