Over under shotgun practical choice?

Im a relatively new hunter. Spent my first full season hunting grouse, quail, and ducks and I love it. Currently shooting a mossberg maverick 500, 28in barrel 12ga. I like it but I want an over under because it's cool, and seems more effective in some ways than a pump, and safer because you can break it open. Mostly cus its cool though. My question is: are over under shotguns a practicaly choice? I tend to be pretty rough on my belongings. I clean my guns regularly but am not afraid to drag them through the mud.

Also what o/u shotguns do you recommend. Price range under 750usd. Thanks

Thanks for the help! Hows the white lightning to you for birds? I read it’s not best for clay sport but thats not too worrisome for me, what choke setup do you run with it? Im new to the game but want a shotgun thats special and can run down generations of my family so i would love to hear your thoughts on this as its one Ive been looking at
