Yes, there's no way to implement choke input with the voltage doubler (there is a "current doubler" configuration with two chokes that cuts voltage in half though - not likely to be useful for high voltage).
Choke input with a full-wave bridge will have better regulation and/or current capacity than with full-wave center tap with same size transformer. Choke input with solid-state rectifiers (why did my spell-checker try to change it to "sordid state"?) will require a snubber of some sort - cap, RC, MOV - or diodes will be zapped sooner or later.
