23mm is better, less stress to the gasket. Please ensure the inside edge of the hole is smooth.

On second thought, if you are using a hole saw, it might over cut, Uuse 22 mm and open it up with a reamer or file, it is safer.

^Also use lots of silicone, just helps prevent leaks from showing up down the road.

Once a clean and burr-free hole is made, there should not be any need for silicone.

ok bit of an update :

1) I have everything
2) Dog ate the water level sensor, so I need to get a new one DOH
3) The bracket design is done and being fabricated, hopefully I will have it ASAP

Once the bracket is done I can mount everything in the boot and run lines to the engine. Should I run the Meth lines UNDER the car? or inside the car? Does it matter?
