Shotgun patterns vary quite a bit depending on the load, the gun, and the choke used. My recommendation would be to pattern your gun with the load you will be hunting with and see what it looks like. If you don't have the time or place to do that then my general recommendation would be to go with an improved cylinder choke or maybe a light modified. My particular gun does very well with the improved cylinder choke at all distances from way up close to very far away.
