I would definitely go to 700c/622 myself, both for the tire options and the
fact you can fit a little more tire too! Probably 32mm but at least 28mm
tires, and since the overall diameter will be pretty much the same as
original, geometry will be preserved.

Figured more tire options moving to a 700c

Sam,
Be careful, remember its a 4mm radius when replacing 700c with 27 1/4"
(American size from the 10 spd craze in the 70's.) Going the other way
placing 700c wheels on a 27 1/4" frame is no problem, use a brake with
greater reach. BUT WHY?

Eric yes 27 1/4 was the most popular size think Schwinn Varsity ect.
630mm refers to the bead seat diameter.

630mm is the actual diameter of the rim nominally known as 27", you see it
on a lot of '70s 10-speeds and most of those use centerpulls. 622 is what
we call 700c and would be the closest size you could try and possibly get
the brake pads to reach.
