The last time we used #25 was on our shooter in 2006. It was pretty tight; we did use a belt for most of the motor-wheel connection and chain was only on the last six inches or so.
I would say run the numbers and go with the easiest and lightest solution that will work (in that order, probably, except work comes first).
