Hey I went and checked my records. (I try to keep them on of my for money cooks) I bought 4 whole fryers and they averaged 5.5lbs each. It turned out plenty of pulled chicken. I was suprised at the yield of meat. I'd estimate I got 75% of the raw weight in pulled chicken. And that is exactly what SoEzzy's catering spreadsheet figures.

Stick with legs and thighs for pulling. Buying a whole bird will only give you two extra boobs so I bet the cost of buying legs and thighs will work out cheaper and lessen the chance of having any dry meat in the batch. Use quarters if you can get them.

I'll add that the meat I got from smoking whole fryers was better tasting than any chicken I've smoked before. I'm seriously thinking about from now on always smoking whole fryers for pulled chicken. The whole birds were actually very easy to pull and yielded a good bit of meat.
