Moving to Zambia - Is life better for expats in Choma or Lusaka?

Hello, We are going to live and work for 3 years in Zambia. We will be leaving around the 20th of April for Zambia. Work will be mainly in Choma and Lusaka. We can choose where to live Lusaka or Choma. Any advise is welcome. We have a slight preference to Choma, as we like the rural and we will be visiting Lusaka enough for work and we can combine with socializing and buying some goods. Is it difficult to find an adequate house with 2,3 bedrooms in Choma and a little garden? Or is this easier in Lusaka? Is there a lot of difference pricewise in renting a house in Lusaka or Choma? How is the internet connection in Choma compared to Lusaka? What would be recommended to take? A machine to bake your own bread? Some spices? Pots and pans? I have no idea. A bycicle and what type? Furniture? A good bed?Washing machine? Or is it all available in Zambia. Is it costly to buy it in Zambia? What is the quality if you buy in Zambia?
