I've shot both, and own a Mossberg 500A. I love my Mossberg. It's never misfired, never jammed. Very accurate, too. I'm not an expert marksman by any stretch, but it's only ever taken one slug to knock down a deer, and one was 120 yards out. It's good with slugs (3" Magnum) and the rifle barrel out to around 90 yards consistently. I shoot clays occasionally, and usually average better than 90% hit. Mine has a "rattly" pump action to it, too. Never been a problem.

A friend of mine owns a Remington 870, and it does shoot nice. Had it jam once, not sure where to point the finger on that, though. It's accurate as well. Hit stuff at 75 yards or so with slugs. His doesn't seem to be as consistent as my Mossberg, but I'm used to mine, too, and obviously, variances between guns may mean something here, too.
