I also have a 590, though mine is an SP model with Marinecote. I really dig the Marinecote finish. It looks like hard chrome but is designed specifically to resist corrsion offshore. It also happens to be what the US Coast Guard has used for a while now, which I find to be a good endorsement. The only problem is that it is not legal in Denmark as it has well more than 2 in the bottom tube.
Personally, if the gun is to see offshore duty, I would go with a pump gun. It is simpler, easier to maintain, and has no gas system that might decide to freeze up due to bad weather.
Maverick is just Mossberg's off-brand essentially. Finish and machining aren't quite as good, and neither is the furniture. Can't make a comment on Baikal guns as I've not owned one. Their Coach Gun is pretty sweet though =)
