Is 250 GNR the best of the small .25 cal. Reeder cartridges

I was looking over the reloading manual, and noticed very little differences among the stated ballistics of the 250 GNR, 251 Falcon, and 255 Banshee.

Given that (1) forming 250 GNR is much simpler (it just requires running 32 h&r brass through a sizing die), whereas 251 Falcon requires annealing 25-20, and necking up k-hornet is more time consuming; and (2) 250 GNR can be chambered in anything the other two can, plus the bearcat, is there any reason for 251 Falcon or 255 Banshee to exist in the face of 250 GNR?

Btw, is there a typo in the manual re: the trim length for 250 GNR? It shows 1.19" trim length, but 32 H&R brass is nominally only 1.075" to begin with.
