The "C" rating is in effect how fast you can discharge the battery without damaging it. A higher rating is needed on some of the more demanding setups with 4x4 SC running a high KV 4-Pole motor being the most demanding.
I higher C rating also gives a feeling of more punch, as it can simply deliver power at a faster rate. You can also safely charge at a higher rate as you go up in C rating.
Issue is that there is not a standard to measure it. Each manufacturer has way to do it, and one offering 50C might be another manufacturers 60C, and then there are the ones so off the chart high that they must be doing something suspect to cook the numbers.
Personally I suggest a 40C or higher pack as a general rule, and if your budget will allow more I would shop in the 70C + range. For your 22 a good option would the Shorty Packs, saves a good deal of weight, allows you to move the battery more forward or back to change weight distribution... just a good choice in the 22... I just got this set of SMC packs and so far they seem to be a good choice for me. They are on backorder now, but that is because he can not keep up with demand.. just good packs.
Or if epic runtimes are your goal you can get the full sized packs in some very high mAh ratings.
