"Race" by a mile. The super high oil content of "R2R" is worse for your engine than it is helpful. #1 it kills front bearings left and right.... #2 you are forced to lean the daylights out of the engine (VERY BAD) and #3 it makes a mess out of the exhaust on the car because of all that oil [:'(]. Thats why in a nutshell

Either would be just fine, if the 25% is the same price as the 20% go for it..

Never use any RTR/Sport fuel versions, way too much oil!

We are not talking about Byrons in general, its about the versions. Many fuel companies have a Sport/Race formula, the sport has a lot of oil which kills one way bearings and make engines run with less performance.

Byron has 3 kinds of fuels. One is the sport fuel, other is the race fuel, and they have pro driver 30% which only has 9% oil. Race has 11%. God knows how much sport has.
