Mossberg 835 Star dot or Indian Creek?

For my 835 I am trying to decide between a Star Dot or an Indian Creek Black Diamond Strike.

Which do you think would be a better choice and why?

I found the Star Dot at a sporting goods store about 100 miles from where I live and they will ship it to me.   There is not much difference in price about $10.00.

Thanks

The choke that did best with the 835, had the highest numbers and without any 2" or larger gaps in my evaluations with both Winchester Long Beard (WLB) shells and Hevi-13 shells was the Hevi-13 turkey choke.

Thanks,

I do not have a Hevi 13 choke for my 835 so I can not comment on Clarks suggestion but I do know that public PH choke out shoots my IC and my stardot.

 indian creek and hevi 7's are the best combo I've found for my 835.
