Hi Since the 25 MHz crystal has already been soldered into a circuit, putting it in a socket is probably not a real good idea. It’s also a leaded part. Even with fat pins sockets can be an issue. With wire leads, you are asking for trouble.
Functionally, there is little there is little difference between a glass package crystal and a metal package. About the only real one is the obvious - one has a metal shield you can (but sometimes don’t) ground.
