I think that SxS's with straight stocks, splinter forends and double triggers are beautiful, whereas under and overs are to my eye clunky appearing.
The main reason that I prefer SxS's to under and overs is because my eye is drawn to the slab side of the gun and I don't shoot them very well.
To further my non-conforming opinion, I shoot a 16 Ga. for all upland game and only shoot targets a few weeks before the bird seasons start.
That said, shoot what you want to shoot and enjoy.
I and friends hunt South Dakota each year and their choice of guns are interesting. Three of these guys are very good trap and skeet shooters and each have won many events, including state championships.
Two guy prefer under and overs for targets and 16 Ga. SxS's for birds another guy shoots his 12 G. SA trap gun with extended chokes for both trap and upland hunting.
