None of those are trap guns. If you are going to shoot trap, you need to buy a trap gun. Look at something used in your price range. Remington 1100, Super X-1 Trap, BT-99, Citori, you might even get a Beretta in that range. Make sure you know what you are buying as you can easily dump a pile of cash into a worn out old trap gun. However, there are lots of old safe queens that have been lightly used around. Do lots of talking and try different guns.
 
If a person gets 25/25 with them, those guns work just fine for trap. You don't need to spend a bunch of money on a shotgun to shoot trap. Berettas are nice shotguns but you don't need one just to shoot trap, unless you care more about being fashionable than hitting clays IMO.....
 
BPS is a great gun, but its a pain in the ass on the trap line. You can't load directly into the chamber(easily) so have to cycle from the mag each time. Takes some getting used to, I didn't like it all and many times forgot to cycle a round into the chamber when the pace picks up. The thing is, are you planning on hunting because all of the guns you've listed are great hunting guns, not so much dedicated target guns.

The one that fits you better.

p.s. people are right. None of your choices are true trap guns. But unless you can afford 2-3 grand and up (I stopped looking at around $15 G), any of these will do.
