RE: Is the 870 Express the best all around gun
Depends on what you want to do with it and how much money you want to spend. 870's are great, but no better than a Mossberg 500 (which cost less and come with three chokes).
The Nova is a great gun as well, but barrels are expensive and the gun is ugly as sin.
The BPS is probably the best out right now, but costs more as well.
The H&R pardner is a great gun for the money as well. The down side is it's made in china and I don't know how hard it would be to get parts for it if you did have a problem.
As far as function they are all great guns and pretty equal, except the BPS. The browning is clearly a better gun, but is a step up from a remington express in both quality and price.
My opinions anyway.

I like the BPS the best but I have owned several 870's of all variates and never had a seconds problem with them. The BPS is just a personal preference.
