I don't have any experience with chuckers, but open/tight chokes for Huns has served me really well. It's also a near perfect choke combination for wild Bobs on the prairie...if 35 years of successfully hunting them is an indicator. I often have to change out shells depending on the conditions and when a pheasant might be lurking about. Has changing shells in one barrel caused me to miss some opportunities -- occasionally -- but it's also allowed me the versatility to match conditions when they change. AND, I still have the originality of the gun.
You know your shooting and your needs best, but as someone posted here in one of the (many!) threads that included a discussion of opening chokes: you can't add the metal back after you've opened the chokes.
