If you have clearance for 25c I would take those and experiment with lower pressure. Unless you weigh a lot more than me, 90 psi should be more than enough.
I'm 200# and I pump my 25s to 90F/95R. Big difference from the old 120 I used to use! Not just more comfort, but less 'hop' on rough patches on curves. And I don't find myself constantly seeking the smoothest part of the bike lane.
