Dont see the advantage of using channel/angle/tubing over flatbar as long as you have decent air movement.
If you wanted to push it I think the 12" hsusa sinks cut to 1" would work awesome for the 280mm eb strips but at $5/pc you'd be spending more $$$ on the sinks than the strips.

I'm sure they don't 'need' a heatsink but obviously it's an incredibly smart investment. Not only do you need some type of structure to mount your strips to and hang but having them dissipate heat better/faster is going to make them slightly more efficient and last longer. Nice to know some are using 1", I was just wondering how they would fit as far as putting screws in so close the the edge. I'll definitely be using 1" and .125 material. Just not sure yet whether I'll use flatbar, rectangular tubing, square tubing, channel or angle. Depends on my mood and what type of over the top and stupid design I come up with.
