I really like KT guides the braid line does not get tangle up on the on the guides

With braid to 20# the KL16H, KL8H, KL5.5M is, IMO, the best all around reduction train going for spinning rods 6'9" to 7'6" in light to medium heavy using 2500 to 3000 Series reels. I always test cast but this set-up is so solid I sometimes wonder if I need to. 16H at 19 inches, Choke 21 inches past the stripper. Bullseye the 8H and 5.5M...and don't forget to use the KB as your choker.

I just found this thread and, thanks, now I know that the spinning rods that I have bought lately weren't even supposed to cast well with mono. I've had to change the guides on all of them. Anyway, since I am about to do it again with another new rod I have been looking at the guide placement software on AnglersResource. Why does it give different choke points for the same reel when using different guides? I thought that the choke point was a constant for each reel and the guides were meant to match it? I am looking at the Stradic 2500J.

That is correct , the choke point is only one for each reel and is the point where the imaginary line of the reel axle meets the blank (this is the natural choke point of the reel). However when you're talking about KR system, you're talking about a "forced" choke point , artificially moved down the blank in order to bring down the line faster. So, the second choke point is an artificial one and you'll find it in KL-H profile guides only.
