which is better for you is what you mean I think, only you can answer that. One really is not better than the other as which would suit your needs better than the other. If you go with the 23s that would be more for race. less space between the pavement and rim that could translate to more flats and increased chance of rim damage caused by uneven concrete, pot holes etc... 25s would give a bit more meat to play with and still have the race feel and high pressure.
If you want more dependability and tread choices and ease of ownership and self repair then go for the 28s or 32s commonly found on touring or sport hybrids
everyone has an opinion on the brand and size they prefer and I have had good named tires that have crazed,cracked, and crapped out long before they should have in my opinion. So with that said, if you want race go with the 23s and 25s. and if you want good all arounders go with the 28s or 32s of your flavor and affordability.
