Should be going to England for ODIs only I reckon. Dont pick him for the T20s though... He would hoop the ball over there. Would love to see a bowling squad of;
Neesham
McCullum
Southee
Mills
McCleneghan
Milne
Henry
Boult (if there is space, dont rate him with the white ball atm, should be test only for now I reckon. Ditto with Bracewell)

I personally don't see how you can leave Matt Henry out of the ODI squad now. What's his record now? 35 wickets @ 14 or something similar. Throw in the fact he's averaging 18 with the ball in first-class, and he can be useful with the bat at times. He has to at least make the squad.

I think ODI's is certainly a better bet for him than T20's. And he's actually done alright in List A's. 9 wickets in 4 matches at 26 and with an econ rate of 6 isn't bad (given how ridiculously high scoring this seasons Ford Trophy has been). Not a patch on Henry or Mills though.

Southee really hadn't done anything spectacular when he was called into the Black Caps. Had taken about 30 wickets at 28 apiece when he was called in, iirc. Good for a 19 year old, but nothing out of the ordinary (Milne, Small and Wheeler have all done comparably well in their first couple of seasons and none of them are anywhere near a test callup). The real reason he was brought into the side was because of his performance in the U19 World Cup (which really should've counted for sfa given how low the standard in u19 cricket is compared to FC cricket).Yeah we should totally give Henry the Tim Southee treatment

True, it was more based on U19s. And Henry is 21, not 19 like Southee was.
Do we think it's a good idea to have him play ODIs first or wait for tests? I'm torn on this issue though usually in favour of saving for tests. I tend to think most bowlers' test performances are affected negatively by playing ODIs however for a few (e.g. Bond) I think it helped them.
