I have two 250k pots that I want to use for a tone and volume control.

Does the rating on the pot have any bearing on the size of the cap that is wired to ground?

I have seen mention of .033 to .047 caps being used, but I don't know what the difference would be, if any.

I thought I read somewhere that a 250k pot would sound "warmer" than a 500k pot. Is this still true if wired to a piezo?
