If you are using a pump or semi-automatic, I believe Modified would be a better choice.
If you are using a double gun, having barrels choked Modified and Full would allow you to handle both the near flushes, and the longer range shots.
With an Improved Cylinder, you won’t have a tight enough shot spread for the longer ranges, i.e. beyond 20-25 yards.

In the case of Pheasant hunting Modified choke is always best to use.. Phesants can be tough to bring down sometimes,and a Modified choke will provide a dense enough pattern to bring them down consistently and not spoil any meat. References : Gunsmith/Gun Shop Owner-Dealer
