As bars get taller and more leverage is applied to the stem, going up to 1" just makes sense.
I had a pair of 1" Strip bars with the 1" grip tubes but the clamp area was the standard 7/8" which was odd. Diatech made some 1" brake levers--Tech 99 I believe, or you could run filed out Tech 77s.

The larger OD the tubing, the more it resists bending and twisting, but the more likely it is to be dented or crushed

It'll be subjective though.

My favorite bar ever was the complete opposite. I rode a KHE Phil Dohlan 9" aluminium bar for light street (held up for years) and it had 1" grip area and 7/8 stem diameter. It started slipping when the knurling went away so couldnt ride them anymore
