If you could only have two sizes of lead shot for everything......what would they be?

I'm tossing around the idea of #1 Buck, and perhaps BB, or T.......but I know next to nothing about evaluating shotgun performance, compared to avid shotgun enthusiasts. So what say you?

#5s for birds (pheasant and turkeys). #8s for targets!

Is this just for bird hunting or everything. I use shotguns for coyote hunting a lot and BB's are my shot of choice 5's for upland birds and 8's for target. I could live with BB's and 7 or 7 1/2 for everything else(shot them for pheasants at dog trials). Just birds and targets 5's and 8's.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Won't be any ducks or geese since he is asking about lead.
