Good scopes are not cheap, that is for sure. Leupold and Burris come with lifetime warranties, so even if the shotgun breaks them, you can get a new one.
Personally, all my scopes are Burris. I liked the first one I bought and have kept on buying them with very few dissappointments. Had a seal on the very first one look like it was coming off after 10 years of decent use and had the windage knob on my shotgun scope pop off, but that was because a buddy of mine banged it against a table. Burris fixed both without question.
Two seasons ago, I bought a slug barrel and Burris Fullfield II scope for my Benelli Super Black Eagle along with a couple recoil reducers and used it as my main slug gun (i.e., the Browning BPS got relegated to backup). Between sighting the thing in and hunting, I probably shot close to 20 boxes of slugs through it without a hitch. The scope cost a little less than $200.
As with anything, I believe that you get what you pay for things.
