I load 1oz #7 in my 20ga and 1 1/8 #7 in my 16ga for the right barrel of my SxS's and high brass # 6 in the left barrel. I have a Brittany that points well so most of my shots are close. Works for me when I'm shooting well which  unfortunately doesn't happen all the time.

If you shoot a 16 gauge, choke and/or shot size don’t matter. Chukar and Hun’s see the 16, no, FEEL the presence of a 16, know you are a ‘Professional’ and more skilled than the normal hunter, and realize running or flying is futile. They line up and come walking to you!  :IBCOOL:
Generally, #6’s. Premium will let you reach out further, but finding the bird may be more difficult. Nothing like off balance, out of breath, out of position shooting at a high speed object on a steep hillside. Addictive!
Cuterebra are NOT cute!

Booyah! Boss is now putting out a 20ga shorty with 7/8oz #7s. My 3" 5s have impressed me a lot for waterfowl. Gonna try a case of the 7s for a 1 shell do all for upland. My favorite steel loads are just impossible to find
