Speaking from my testing of bars on Peugeot 205s I'd go for the smaller of the two bars. The last thing you want is a car that will lift off oversteer at any opportunity by going too stiff at the rear.

22mm is plenty. With decent suspension the car is solid as a rock at the back on the 22mm.
If you are getting understeer then it's not because the bar is not thick enough - you need to look at how the front end is setup, ie. caster and camber etc.

You have to drop the petrol tank and the brackets can be an absolute bast*rd to get undone - its possible with a great deal of swearing. I think its a job for a specialist personally.

-1.5 deg camber, 1mm toe out. that's a fairly aggressive front config, i think. caster's not adjustable afaik.

I did it on axle stands fine and although I was fairly happy with what I was doing its wasn't my favourite job. Dropping the front subframe was worse for the front ARB.
If you do it yourself make sure you inplug the power cables from you fuel pump/fuel gauge when you drop the tank though, otherwise they will pull the cables out
