Kent steel, or hevi shot. Probably in 4 shot. Go with a modified choke, or full.

Kent Fasteel, since you have a chance ot both ducks and geese, I'd suggest 3" #1's or #2'sin the 1-1/8oz load shooting 1560 fps. swing through the bird and pull the trigger when you get about a foot infront of the beak.
Modified choke.
Get a faemask

keep your shots under 35 yards,, if you can see the eye's clearly, they are in range!

I would recommend Kent Fasteel shells probably no smaller than a #3 or 4 and as for the choke go with a modified or full choke for sure. Good luck with the hunt.

I too will say Kent Faststeel. However, I am going to say 2's and larger. The 2's work great for ducks and are on the lighter side for geese but will get it done if needed. As far as tubes go, I would shoot a Mod. Unless you buy a tube for steel, the Mod choke is a full choke.

The best advice i would give is to listen to whoever is there with the most duckhunting experience, they wanna shoot ducks too and most importantly be safe and have a good time!
