If hunting in New England then I agree with Dean and others. Especially at the beginning of the season when the foliage is on you need to get the shot off quick and at close range. A tight choke will blow up the bird at such ranges.
Where I have shot woodcock in SC on the GA border I find the woodcock in much more open covert and thus whatever choke you like at longer ranges is good up to full.
But I'm new down here and have a lot to learn...
