With today's shells, for upland game, at close range, even cylinder choke will work pretty good, and a cylinder in the first barrel improved cylinder in the second is not bad. Or go cylinder in first barrel and modifed in second barrel.
I have a CZ 28 gage side by side with screw in chokes and I found at cylinder and improved cylinder worked great for 30 to maybe 35 yards tops on pheasant and chuker. That little gun killed all out of porportion to it's size.
Normally I use a 12 gage Winchester mod.23 side by side with improved cylinder and improved Modified, that works very well also. But to be quite Honest I also have an L.C. Smith in modifed and full that kills very well also, but I do sorta need to let stuff get out there a little bit farther for the patterns to open up.
The down side to too much choke is when you are hunting with someone that is a quick shot using open chokes and not taking turns. He will drop them every time, while you are still waiting for your pattern to open up.
