    Both are fine, but in practice at a time of your choosing is more common than at a time of your choice. Any supposed difference in grammaticality or meaning is spurious, imho.

  • It's simply a matter of parallel construction. It would be also perfectly fine to say You may find that to engage the required range of participants will require your to travel to the participants' home or workplace at a time of their choice.
