Any improvement generated by a Wylde chamber will require match ammo or preferably handloads tailored to the weapon. It isn't a match chamber, so you shouldn't expect it to act like one.

Most of my experience is with the 5.56 chamber shooting strictly factory ammo. My guns don't seem to show a measurable difference between the 5.56 and 223 ammunition. The only exception is a older Colt heavy barrel in 5.56 that shot better with Black Hills 223 ammo yielding an occasional 5/8 moa 5-shot group. That was years ago when I could see well!
The shooting I do typically maxes out at 200 yards.
In the end you'll be well served with either 5.56 or 223 Wylde chambers unless you'll get into the minutiae of reloading tailor-made loads.
My first AR will put Hornady 55gr FMJBT bulk bullet handloads into 1 MOA, and I don't go to any extremes loading them. I can ring a MGM flasher at 300 yards every time, it actually gets boring. Wylde may be the hotness but I'd never see the difference with the shooting I do. 5.56 chambers are plenty good enough IMO.
Get the .223 Wylde if it's what you want- it will work fine. As others have mentioned, it's typically associated with precision builds, but I haven't heard of any downsides to the chambering so I suppose you could argue that it is objectively better than a 5.56 chamber, even if it's just a minute difference. That being said, you'd also be fine with a 5.56 chamber too.
I would focus on getting a good rifle; if you get a solid rifle, the chambering isn't really terribly important.

.223 wylde has even sluttier dimensions than 5.56 nato.
In 2008 I bought a heavy barreled Rock River with the Wylde chamber. In the right conditions I have put 3 in a .25” group.
Your mileage may vary.
