One of the older guys I shoot skeet with during the summer shoots a Stoger. It has several different sets of barrels and he switches from .410 up to 12 gauge depending on how his day is going. I haven't ever shot it, but he likes it.

If you are gonna shoot 50 targets a week with it, you'll probably be OK. If you are going to compete, spend some dough and buy a good tube set. A Browning Citori or a Beretta 682 would be good entry level guns that would withstand the rigors of serious shooting.
The 30 years I competed, a typical week from February through September would consist of a minimum of 500 targets a week, usually more, 100 on Wednesday, 200 each on Saturday and Sunday. When we went to shoots, the program would consist of 500 targets (100 ea. with 12, 20, 28, and 410 plus 50 pair of doubles) not counting any practice rounds or shoot off targets. Buy a quality shotgun that will take that kind of volume of shooting and save yourself some headaches.
If you intend to participate in both skeet and trap, you will need two different shotguns. While a field gun will work well at skeet or sporting clays, a trap gun is set up for trap, ie. longer barrel(s), higher comb, tighter choke, etc. but still need to be quality to handle the volume of shooting reliably.
