Based on the wording You used: "which jitter number I would use for
the latency test", I am not sure that I understand, what exactly You
mean.

1) If You mean: which jitter number from latency test results to take
into account?
25us figure represents jitter in base thread.
1ms figure represents jitter in servo thread.

Which figure to use? It depends... Will You run anything in base
thread (like Erik mentioned - software step generation is one of the
tasks for base thread) or will everything be done in servo thread?

2) If You mean: which number to take for the latency number to run?
IMHO, the question is not valid, You cannot put Your own numbers
there, You simply should open latency test and press "run" (or
something like that, I do not remember correctly) and then, with that
test window in background, press "f2" and type "glxgears" - a small
window with 2 rotating gears should open. Its purpose is to create a
load for CPU. You could also open firefox and do whatever You can to
load the PC. It is recommended to run latency period longer than a
minute or two, so that the max jitter that will be catched would
really represent the worst-case situation.
