Does the choice of test code matter, and is there a best number to test?

Several experienced players agree that the choice matters only sometimes.

Somewhat. Any code solves the verifier you are asking, but your choice affects the other verifiers in the round, and sometimes you can deduce the result without asking. No verifier makes one number obviously best, so choosing codes that give the most information is part of the skill.
