CHIRP transducers for a FCV-295 fish finder

I am planning on buying a FCV-295 fish finder and want to equip it with a CHIRP transducer. I have run across the B265LH and B275LH as candidates for this combination. Are there other Furuno transducers I should be looking at and is there a particular model that is high functioning with this fish finder. I have a 44ft wooden commercial fishing vessel. Running speed is between 7 and 8 knots, fishing speed between 2 and 3 knots, fishing depth between 10 and 70 fathoms.
 
Hello F/V Myrna,

While the FCV-295 is not a “Chirp” sounder display, it can work with the B265 Series, B275 Series, R509 series and B175 Series Airmar transducers. The FCV-295 will not automatically scan the Frequency bands, but you can set the High and Low frequencies manually at the optimum starting point and then adjust it manually within the set bandwidth from the menus.
*Note* Both the FCV-295 and FCV-1150 have three frequency ranges that are LOCKED OUT and are not selectable. They are 53-65Khz, 111-139Khz, and 171-183Khz*
