Unless you are buying new I'd say .222. They are not as popular due to the .223 so they can be picked up cheaply.
The amount you save on the rifle could buy years of ammo or go towards a really good scope.
If it's a brand new rifle you are after, see if the 204 ammo is available and how much they are going to slug you.
I like the .222 but as we don't have to get rifles proofed after re-chambering here in Australia many .222s have been re-chambered to .223.
I have 2 myself.
.223 ammo is just so much easier to get, cheaper and the slow twist is only an issue above 50gn.
