The tap bases are about the same internal diameter as 22mm, but externally
threaded, and hence are about 25mm externally.

Is this the appropriate connector?;

Yup, that's the one. Beware of the Screwfix pushfit version of the same
connector - the pushfit fitting on it is awful.

agreed.

I used the white 1m long compression ~~ tap conn ones from B&Q.

It'll do the job alright, but on a more negative note, it'll seriously
reduce the flow to your hot water fill. The bore in those flexi-connectors
is tiny compared to full-bore 22mm copper. The cold doesn't usually matter
as the feed is generally mains pressure.

I've got no flow problems with combi ~ 22mm ~ flexi ~. bath tap and I'm
reliably informed that the only issue in the case of hot water storage tank
~ 22mm ~ tap would be flow rate and that would be negligible in real
world applications.

I've used flexis for both sink and bath recently and notice that the bore
does vary between manufacturers.
Also, on the subject of reduced flow, I believe the sink feed has suffered
this problem, but more due to the inclusion of the obligatory non-return
valves for mixer tap installation!
