In our region, many people like using opt in this case:
-To __ two out of three (=three models), John would choose algebraic model.
According to my experience, you opt FOR things. FOR usually cannot be omitted. But I don't know when there are unusual situations.
Why do you entitle this question "choose," and then never employ "choose" in your OP? Choose makes sense, but opt does not. Once again, that sentence does not appear to have been written by a native speaker of English.
@WBYeats,

To, for, in, out...all are necessary and cannot be omitted.
Opt is not the same as choose.
Excellent answers. Thank you.~
