Being riserless, the height measurement will be different than a bar that mounts to risers.
Zombie will make whatever you want.
Get a helper with a tape measure. Sit on the bike in your comfortable position, close your eys and reach out like you are gripping the controls. Make it feel natural and/or comfortable. Have the helper measure width, height, and pullback from the top tree. That will get you real close to what you need.

Have had several positive experiences with Zombie Performance - I love his work! My personal recommendation is to go with the 12" - I'm about the same size as you and the 12" hits me at or even just below shoulder height. That said, you could always do the 10" and add riser extenders later, but I think you'd be happy with the 12" from the get-go!
I should also note - I was running a set of his 12" riserless t-bars with 26" width on an 05 Low Rider and I only switched out eventually because I wanted 14" rise overall.

Depends on who you ask.
I never felt that grip vibration was an issue and DID feel that the rubber bushings were FAR too compliant. Solids were an easy choice for me.
Others are sensitive to the vibration. Some even report hand numbness. For them, the extra isolation is worth the loss of input precision.
Poly bushings split the difference.
