A larger tire like a 25 would give you tad bit more air volumn which will give you a slightly better ride, but more importantly you would be safer due the larger tires not wanting to follow groves and cracks as much, you can stop in shorter distance and handle better, and the tires will last longer. A 25 is probably the largest size your going to be able to put on those rims and still fit the frame; you might be able to get 28 on but that could tight.
