I've owned four drillings, still have two of them. My favourite choke combos are as previously suggested 1/4&1/2 or second choice 1/2 & 3/4. I doubt it is worthwhile to order anything different than the standard factory offering of 1/2&3/4, Unlesss the gun is not proofed for steel shot at 3/4 choke. Plan for the future! Your gun is going to last a long time and the future is not looking good for lead pellets. Steel, tungsten and such super hard pellets need less choke and may damage a choke that is too tight. The gun should have a fleur-de-lis proof mark if it is Ok for steel. I'm not a fan of steel shot, but it does work OK within its limitations. More and more jurisdictions are demanding nontoxic shot. Tungsten shot is even harder on barrels but is wonderful stuff. It's a nice option for some shooting.
I'd also personally opt for the longer barrels. Likely better handling as a bird gun, and no detriment to rifle shooting, and extra velocity is a small bonus.
