I just did my part and ordered a Tier 1 with a 20” 7mm-08 1 in 9 twist. Hopefully that gets us there. I was told I needed to 1 in 9 to match up with the group.

Can someone lay out the pro/cons to each twist ? I am hung right now on the 7mm08 or 65CM

It's more than you "need" for those bullets, but it will still work absolutely great. There are several benefits to running more than the minimum twist rate in most cases, especially for hunting. There is obviously a point where it can become "too much", but you aren't anywhere near that with 140s at 7-08 velocities. I would have absolutely chosen an 8 twist if I was building it for myself.
