One reason I like doubles is that I can have two different chokes if I want them. But if I had to be limited to just one choke I could be happy with I/C or even Lt. Mod, but IM or full have less usefulness than more open chokes for my shooting needs. I think one proble with fixed chokes barrels are that too many of them are too tight for most people these days. That and pump guns are a tough sell these days because people who have never shot them think they are slow but I find I can pump faster than I can get back into target for a second or third shot. Not slow at all.


So if you had only one choke what would it be?

I/C. I vary my patterns by using different hardness shot. I've never felt handicapped with I/C.

For the hunting I do, I like a skeet choke.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

I agree with Larry's answer, however if limited to just one I'd chose I/C. I read a long time ago that if one were limited to one choke and shot size for sporting clays (hunters coarse) that the best compomise would be I/C and #8 shot.
