My drains have a 1" bulkhead. my question is should i use 1" pvc for my drains to the sump or use 1.25" pvc ? I am going to use the 1.25" for my durso's.

Either will work. The limit to flow would be the 1 inch bulk head. You could go larger at the entry point to the sump to reduce the velocity of the water entering the sump.
