Long answer - For silk touch by itself, either level 25 or level 50. 50 give you the best chance at about 14% per enchantment on a diamond pick, while 25 give you a 9% chance, but saves you lots of time if you don't want to work up to level 50. Anything below 25 is a waste of time for silk touch.
- For fortune by itself, I'd suggest level 40 at about 20% chance or level 50 at about 28%, but again, you have to work a lot more for that exp from 40 to 50.

At level 22 you have about a 1/13 chance of getting it (on diamond tools).
At level 50 you have about a 1/7 chance of getting it.
For Fortune III:
At level 45, you have about a 1/4 chance of getting it.
At level 50, you have about a 1/3.5 chance of getting it.

Does it have to be diamond ?
It would be slightly easier to get the enchantment you want if you didn't; however, your enchantment will last longer if you do use diamonds.
If you are short on diamonds, you can use iron with only my above statement to think about.
Good . I have a ton of iron .
Just running low on diamonds .
