Is 31 a good material for UHF? I always think of it as a HF material, but it could well be useful up to 500 MHz.

Yes, it's a very good material for 6M and 2M. From that table of chokes, click on any part number to see the data sheet. Scroll down to see plots of Zmag for 1, 2, and 3 turns. For practical chokes, these characteristics will vary with cable diameter, turn diameter, and turn spacing. My recommendations are based on measurements of tightly spaced turns with diameters on the order of min bend radius.

The reason #31 is a bit better than #43 is that it's lower Q, so the resonance is a bit broader.
