Default Buckshot & Choke Choice?

Hi all. I hunt deer every year in a gun club in southern NJ with Remington 870 3' express magnum, and buckshot only allowed. Other than the 6-day firearm season, I'm not much of a hunter, but have been interested in becoming a better shot this year. I've been doing some research online, practicing shooting, and I'm interested to hear what you all think for choice of buckshot brand, size, and choke size. Our hunting is mostly flat-land with medium to thickly wooded areas. I've just purchased several different chokes from Remington, but have seen some $80+ chokes and also wandering if anyone would reccomend them. I've also begun to pattern my gun, and wander if anyone thinks there is a benefit to more pellets or less with a less experienced shot. (In other words, as not a great shot, do I increase my chances with 00 or 1 buck as opposed to 000?) Appreciate your help!
