A common mode choke is used in RF applications, very true, but it
serves a filtering purpose, not a conversion of unbalanced to
balanced energy transfer or vice
versa. A common mode choke that operates well will turn
unwanted RF into heat or cause it to dissipate in its core or a
resistor etc..

The common "W2DU balun" works well as both choke and
balun function.
