That's kinda like asking what shoes to buy.
1. Budget?
2. Overall goal?
3. Rifle?
4. Do you want a dedicated caliber or one that you can use with multiple calibers?

Just got my first one, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Picked up a B&T print-xh rbs in .223 and am quite pleased with it. Little to no gas, quieter than I expected, especially compared to my buddy's Q Jumbo Shrimp. I'm sure there is a little POI shift, but haven't gotten that far with it yet. I've only used it on a 16" AR, as waiting for adapter for my rifle.
I like to buy multi caliber suppressors. Some guys say dedicated suppressors are quieter when used with the dedicated calibur and they are probably right, my old ears can't tell the difference. I just know how enjoyable it is to shoot with a suppressor than without. My guess is you will want to shoot it on more than just one rifle.

While there is no harm in dedicated cans I do like them. Multicaliber does make some sense actually a lot of sense.
Dedicated cans are not always quieter than a multi caliber. As a rule they should be by design.
Integral cans have the best overall performance.
I would say look at the can's specs.
a. Is it auto rated? (for the ability to shoot sustained fire think of PD hunting here.)
b. Barrel length restriction by caliber
c. POI shift is a possibility, which honestly most of our sights are adjustable so that fixes that.
d. weight
e. material's used
f. length is it a factor? or could it be ? cans offering the ability to shorten or length are great asset in this aspect.
g. is it user serviceable or is that a issue for the shooter (all of my personal cans but one is not user serviceable, the one that is is dedicated to shooting cast lead bullets and rimfires)

Give us an idea 1. Your rifles/handguns-- threaded or not 2. Because after shooting the 22-250 suppressed you will want to shoot others suppressed.

I just got my first ones this year, so I'm not an expert, but the Diligent Defense L TI I got is fantastic. It's on a 6.5 Grendel and makes to sound like a 22 without the supersonic crack.
I would think it would do the job on a 22/250. It's touted as the quietest can on the market and lives up to the hype, in my opinion.
