Well, with thicker tubing, the outer layer will be thicker! It would also be stronger and not sag if you have a longer larger coil.
No, I don't plan on coating the coil with anything.

I understand that RF only travels through the very outer layer of a conductor, called "skin effect", so thickness does not matter, just surface area. BTW, are you going to silver plate or spray some kind of clear-coat on your coil? 73, Ed Richards K6UUZ Simi Valley, Ca 93065 Home of the Air Force 1 pavilion
