AFAIK, Visual Studio isn't and never has been available to run on OS X, so you'd have to either run it under Boot Camp or a VM app, such as Parallels Desktop (I'm a Parallels user, so that's what I usually reommend).

For me a important thing is, that i can also use Visual Studio 2012. So if i take the 256GB option i would be afraid to have to less storage because if there doesn´t exist a Visual Studio 2012 for mac, i have to install windows via boot camp which needs 20GB. I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC. Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
Is 256GB enough? Just barely. I've a lean, mean 512GB SSD and I use just a portion of that with a full 377GB free (after I finally consolidated my entire iTunes library onto an external drive). And I run XP under Parallels. SO you could get by with 256GB. And, if you wish to upgrade later, OWC has a 480GB storage card that you can install - for $580 (compare that to the cost of the Apple 512GB upgrade - I think that you come out cheaper with Apple).
Yes, you could get by with 256GB - keeping in mind that you can always upgrade to a larger capacity card later on.
