Default tripple 7 or Pyrodex in cold weather?

well as most know my hunt is fast approaching (dec 5-10) and we get real cold temps here in canada, well today I shot pyrodex pellets for the first time,at the range with kleenbore primers, and didnt notice the kaaa-boom that I was sometimes getting with the tripple 7 pellets, you couldnt even tell the difference between the 209 and actual shot, with trip 7 I was noticing it more, are my observation pretty well accurate, now for my hunt I am planning on going with pyrodex and regular winchester 209 shotgun primers, will this give me a virtually fail safe shot (keeping moisture under control and out of the equation) or can I still use the kleenbores dispite the bitter cold, as the pyrodex seems to light very easy???
so my options: all loads will be pushing hornaday sst 250 grain bullets
100 grain pyro pellets and win.209 shotgun primers
100 grain pyro pellets and rem. kleenbore primers
100 grain trip 7 pellets and win.209 shotgun primers
100 grain trip 7 pellets and rem. kleenbore primers
whitch would you want in your gun in well below freezing temps watching a huge buck at a 100 yards, getting ready to pull the trigger????
