Ones a BOOM (22.250) the others a CRACK (223) 22.250 being louder (more powder = more noise obviously.

That Boom sound is the best, would it be similar to .308 without the kick?

Come over to my desk on Friday and I'll punch you in the shoulder a few times so you get an idea of how it recoils. Might take me a few punches to warm up though

Both are very accurate but if your content to limit your self to about 450yds well then I would stick with the .223. Check out my youtube channel , have got some good long range shots with the .223.

Plates that will deflect a .308 with a slight dimple, the 22-250 can go straight through. Or damage much more significantly and wear through in short order.
Seriously strong targets are required if you want them to last, otherwise use something you consider more disposable.

I use both the .308 and the .22-250 and I have found that neither make a large mark on a bisalloy plate at 100-200 yards
