I just got the 19mm and...
I find the car to VERY neutral now! I had heard that the 22mm bar is too much and breaks the mounts...
I do find that the ride is MUCH stiffer now though. Bumps that would not bother me before now do...but is not that bad. The handling advantage out weighs this in my opinon.

i use the Nuespeed 19mm...
.. and like it a lot.
it has two points of suspension mount that offer two levels of roll resistence, or "anti-sway". (inner mount=higher resistence). i've tried both and i keep it on inner setting.
better understeer control, and neither setting, OR a friends' car w/22mm bar, alter (straight-line) ride quality.
i personally think the 22mm bar is over-kill for street use. it tranfers so much un-damped stress to its mounts and frame, w/o enuf benifit (IMO) to make it useful. bar end mounts have broken, or sheared the frame bolts from hard corner-loads and bumps while cornering.
