First of all, congrats on the new bit!

In relation to your questions, my answer to both would be yes - I think it's fine to promote hooks you yourself have reviewed, and it's always a good idea to take hooks from the expiring noms section if possible.

Some people do think it's best practice not to promote hooks you have reviewed, but in my opinion the first priority is always to get a well balanced update, so I think you should always take the most appropriate hooks for your update, whether you reviewed them or someone else. In fact when I am preparing updates I frequently review and promote hooks on the fly because I can't find a suitable mix in the available reviewed hooks. Hope that helps.
