On my 250, I have an oil filler cap that is also an oil breather. At the back of the vlave cover, I have a PCV valve installed. Since I have a PCV valve, could I switch to a standard oil cap that doesn't vent?

No. The PVC draws air through the engine crankcase, ect. Even if the breather cap gets pluged or fouled up, the engine will push oil. on engines with sealed cap there is another hose to the air filter housing to permit fresh air to the crankcase.
