What 22 caliber pills are best in a 1-12 twist? I have a feeling 45-55grainers will perform best. Also will barrel wear/throat erosion on a new button rifled barrel be much more severe in a 22-250 than say a similar rifle in 223?

The 1:14" twist should handle normal bullets up to about 55 grains. Really though that twist will handle bullets up to 0.645" in length since that's how twist is figured.
The slower twists will be a bit easier on the lighter, more frangible bullets like your 35 gr. but remember that the faster you push lighter bullets, the more stress that is applied to the jacket and they can disintegrate on the way to the target. Don't try to set land speed records with these light bullets, let them get all the way to the target in one piece.
Best.
Stay away from the 35 gr.
