Unless you're planning on using a 28-30"+ barrel with really hot loads, the 0.219" bore should do the trick. None of the 88/90/95 gr .224" offerings require any faster than a 7.0-twist barrel to perform well. When shooting out to 1000 yd, those bullets offer by far the best resistance to wind deflection, and I would generally select one of them unless there was some good reason not to. However, I shoot these bullets from a .223 Rem F-TR rifle, which is not capable of generating the velocities capable with the .22 BR cartridge. For the same reason, higher BC to mitigate wind deflection is an important consideration with the .223 Rem. Although mild loads in the .223 Rem can certainly work, there's no reason you should have to go that route with the .22 BR unless jacket failure is an issue. On the other hand, even a mild load in the .22 BR would probably be close in performance to a stout .223 Rem load, so if you're more comfortable going that route, I don't see why it couldn't work well. I typically run the 90 VLDs in .223 Rem to fire-form virgin brass using a reduced load; ~2750-2775 fps versus around 2830-2840 fps for a full-pressure competition load (30" barrel). They shoot exceedingly well even in a reduced load. Other alternatives might be either the Berger 80.5 gr Fullbore or 85.5 Hybrid bullets. They seem far less prone to jacket issues, likely due to their shorter bearing surfaces.
The jacket failure issues sometimes observed with .224" heavies can certainly be problematic. It seems to be less of a problem with shorter barrels (i.e 26" or less), with twist rates of no faster than 7.0, with a 0.219" bore barrel, and/or with a land/groove configuration such as 5R rifling, which seems to be a bit easier on jackets. I wouldn't let the potential for jacket failure deter me from at least trying the heavier offerings. As long as the barrel takes the above listed considerations into account, they will probably work just fine. Even in the worst case scenario if you experienced any jacket failures, you could always go back to one of the slightly lighter bullets in that setup without any problems. So it's not as though setting up the rifle to shoot the heavies will preclude its use with slightly lighter bullets. However, once you've observed firsthand what a bullet such as lot for you the 90 VLD with its higher BC can do relative to the slightly lighter weight bullets from 600 to 1000 yd, I think you'll be convinced that they're worth at least trying.
