I went 1.75" DOM for mine. It's just that little bit smaller and less obtrusive, and it's the starting minimum size for internal CCDA cages, so you can use the offcuts/die for that should you ever go that way.

2" is too large & a waste of weight & you can't get as tight a CLR (centre line radius) on the bends.
I vote for 1 3/4" as it is very common cost less in consumables & due to that fact cheaper on the sky rocket !!
