Nickel or copper shot for pheasant?

I was wondering if you guys think nickel or copper plated shot helps that much when pheasant hunting. Is it worth the extra money for nickel or copper shot?

Also has anyone used the Kent upland loads, and did you like them.

Thanks

I tend to like #5's as well, 4's are a bit to big, they seem to penetrate right on through a good portion of the bird, dragging in a bunch of feathers with em. 6's are just a tad too small. Just my opinion though.
