New Winchester 1300 20 gauge NWTF Edition - Need Choke Advice

I recently purchased a 20 gauge NWTF edition Winchester 1300 from a co worker.  I was originally just going to leave it alone and use it for dove and clay bird shooting.  Obviously that thought didn't last long and now I am thinking of carrying it for turkeys.  I have a 20 ga mossberg 500 already and have a .575 carlson choke in it shooting federal HW #7 and hevi #7 rather well.  I am open to some suggestions for a choke for this winchester.  I have HW #7, hevi #7 and hevi #6 available currently and might pick up some longbeard #6 to try as well.  Please let me know what has  worked well for you in these 20 gauge winchester 1300s.

Buy a 5 pack of Apex #9's and use the Carlson .575 you already have. I back up the TSS with the Hvwt #7's. This combo does very well out of my 1300 20 gauge.

The engraved NWTF 1300 20ga w/ wincam camo wood is one of the most desirable and hard to get turkey guns there is. I found one last year and cherish it.
As for the set up.  For a "real world" hunting pattern -  I like the factory FULL choke the best....it's perfect to me.  For something a little tighter .. the carlson .575 extended non ported.
As for ammo .. same rules apply as most guns. Anything #9 TSS is the best.  #7 HEVI shot would be runner up.. But I would use the Carlson if using Hevi Shot.
