Generally i'd stay away from the Browning chokes and look into any of the major players for chokes.  Hevi 13 in 6 or7 is a safe bet.  Magblends are fine too.  They actually were great in my Benelli

12ga,24"barrel,3.5"but i'm gonna stay with 3" due to a shoulder injury.I like #5's thats what i've used for the last 25 yrs but if something else works better i'm not against changing.

Hevi13 #6's with a hevi13 choke should be good to go or an indian creek choke
