I use mostly IC. But for geese I'll screw in the modified. Also on late season ducks I screw in the modified a lot.

That's a loaded question (no pun intended)...

Every gun can shoot every load differently. So I suggest the following.

Take your gun, along with the intended load you want to use and try it at known yardages that you typically shoot ducks at.
Shoot it at a large target (say 2' X 2') and count the pellets in your kill zone.
Try your different tubes, and try different loads, until you get the results your looking for.

You can shoot full, but you had better be right on the bird. I've said this several times and I will say it again, IC is the best choke for steel shot, period. That is if you want a higher hit percentage. Even with IC choke, you still have a pretty tight pattern with steel, but at least it's more forgiving than modified and definately full.

I shoot mostly modified... I don't really see a need for IC for my hunting locations.

I used to shoot mod, but my kill percentage went up after I switched to IC..

I haven't tried any of the specialized aftermarket chokes..
