Factory modified or IM modified are good options and help you save hundreds or thousands on chokes in my case.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I run mid range Carlson chokes in both my guns. Should probably take some time and do a better job patterning them with different options and at different distances though.

Given the proper constriction all of my chokes work well and similarly.   I have Browning,  Benelli, Remington,  Winchester,  Carlson's,  Briley, Trulock and more.  The only thing that I would say is universally beneficial is having extended tubes.  They protect the end of the barrel.   I can easily see what constriction I have installed.   I can also make sure they are tight using just my fingertips.  That being said I have quite a few Trulocks.  They offer a huge variety of constriction.  They are super strong and consistent.   Plus they are reasonably priced.

I use Carlson mid or short range, both pattern noticeably better than factory for me and as mentioned it's easier to confirm what you have in there and that it's tight with an extended choke.

I’ve been running mostly the Carlson long range. Mid range if I’m expecting closer shots like grouse hunting
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!
