I keep my shotgun in condition 1 while it’s in my hand or slung. Condition 3 while it’s in the safe or transport mode.
The 870 Vang dome safety vastly improves my ability to deactivate the safety. With it, I’m willing to operate the safety with the same philosophy as a carbine or handgun. Sights on target, safety off. Sights off target, safety on. (My context is personal defense, not hunting or games.). With a less ergonomic safety, like the factory button, I’d be more inclined to deactivate the safety earlier, including safety off while in low ready.
