medium cage or short cage campy centaur rear??

I'm building up my classic bike with more modern parts. I have a compact 50/34 crankset and intend on going 11/23 or 11/25. Anyone know which size cage I need for each?

thanks in advance!

Look up specs for each or ask the seller - you need a max capacity of 25 and a wrap capacity of 30 teeth.

The short cage works fine with 25.
