We used IH plate planters for a very long time and the concepts are the same.
You should get whatever the seed bag says is the best fit plate, if you don't already own plates. The main reason to use an alternate plate is if you have it, but you don't have the recommended plate.
I'm surprised your planter didn't come with a huge bag of plates. Have you checked all the fertilizer, seed and insecticide hoppers?
Why you'd use one plate over another is seed fit. Each cell should only allow one kernel to enter it. It should not be so tight that the kernels get jammed. It should not be so loose to let two kernels enter.
16 vs. 24 cells is all about seed population. Any charts should show both 16 and 24 cell populations. We never had any 16 cell plates, always 24. You probably can't get modern populations with a 16 cell plate.
Metal plates went out with the 1940's. Don't kill yourself trying to find them. Lustran plates are fine.
I did a quick google search for B25-24 and there are plenty of places that sell them. Burch Store Tractors shows them for $20 each.
