Currently in NH we do have a choice, which changes the picture.
Don't forget the very real potential that J&J might be as effective overall when considering new variants.

In terms of choice, most people I know simply signed up when possible and, when doing so, didn't really have one. For example, when I was finding CVS pharmacies near me in MA, the only ones with openings were offering Pfizer. For J&J, I would've had to drive to the other side of 93, so I did Pfizer. If "my" place was offering J&J, I'd have gotten that.

Remember that the differences are small overall as both are close to 100% at preventing major symptoms and hospitalization.

Godspeed, friend!
