Kenny,
Like you, I have no problem going back and forth with double or single triggers. I do it often when hunting and range shooting in the same day. I think both types offer something. I actually prefer a single trigger for some hunting conditions where I hunt valley quail. The terrain is steep razorback hills with lots of cover. A super fast second shot is sometimes worth a bird. I'm pretty quick on a 2 trigger, but sometimes not quick enough. Often, I don't think about it one way or the other. I find myself worried more about weight, overall length, gauge, and choke, than trigger arrangement. The gun has what it has.

As for single trigger selectors, I haven't used one that is worth messing with when a shot presents itself. The 'usual' situation I (and probably most) encounter, is when the trigger is set to the more open choked barrel and a bird presents itself further out than we think the open choke barrel is capable of. I shoot with the open choked barrel and follow up with the tighter barrel if necessary. The only style SST that I've seen that made sense to play with barrel selection was the Win 21/SKB style with the selector at your trigger fingertip, requiring only a push to the left. But, I don't own any of those guns.
