Bigger is better on these old cars, because there heavy. Just my thoughts. Eddie 66ss conv.

I'm really not familiar with these things so I come for your help. I don't know which is best. It's a street car. I don't race the car, but I do a lot of corner turning around street and through hills too. I just want the perfect size bar, which will not do me more harm on my car than good. Sometimes I hear that smaller is alright, but not that good and that a bigger bar is better but not that big. 
My car specs:
I don't have any sway bars installed? Should I get the rear sway bar first? Can there be only one sway bar installed? Or do both front and rear sway bars need to be installed on the car and used at the same time?
I just recently rebuilt my rear end: 12 bolt 3.42 gears non-posi, new axles, new everyhting. I also have new rear lower box control arms, all new rear rubber bushings, and new Bilstien shocks. Hotchkis coil springs front and back. 
For the front end I just installed new MOOG inner and outer tie rods, new upper and lower ball joints, and new idle arm. I'm running a 350 engine with a 350 tranny and with an MSD HEI Ignition kit. thanks guys
