Fielders Choice or Hit on a bunt
Fielders Choice or Hit on a bunt
runners on first and second 1 out. bunted ball fielded by catcher who throws to third for an out. runner safe at first and would have been safe if throw went to first. does judgment that he would have been safe make any difference or is this always a fielders choice because the out was made?

Correct.
This is the MLB rule 10.05 (b):
The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a runner is forced out by a batted ball, or would have been forced out except for a fielding error;.
