If you also plan on wiring them internally then go for the 1.25" bars. I just did some for my 1" drag bars, and they where a pain to do especially if you want to use the existing cable tubing. It basically shredded parts of it and luckily my friend hooked me up with some cable mesh tubing to hide all of that nastyness.

um no..you can't use an 1.25" bar in a standard street bob triple tree that has th intergrated risers unless that bar is stepped down to 1.000" to fit the clamps

just to let you know I have a set of 1.25 bars they are stepped down for the clamp but the bars hit the caps on the top tree

Yes it's common practice to let the forks sit down just a touch lower in the trees so that they clear the caps than it will be all good !
