For trap singles from the 16, a IC, LM, or M will work

For skeet, a C, SK or IC will work

C= .000
SK= .005
IC= .010
LM= .015
M= .020

Those are thousandths of an inch constrictions (sometimes called "points") at the muzzle

Most folks will use a M for trap, especially if they do not get on the bird quickly as it will hold a slightly tighter pattern at longer range. Remember that what the choke says is an indication of what it SHOULD be. What it ACTUALLY is will be determined by you at the pattern board

You might want to consider a barrel with choke tubes so you can easily shoot trap and skeet in one outing merely by changing chokes
