Depends on how much the engine breaths. I would guess a DS engine would breath less.

I would go as big as possible.

Mine is 40mm ~ 1,5"...

Lids - Are you referring to the breather hose from the oil tank to breather tank ?

I am going dry sump too (but only have pump and some fittings so far)

Thanks

Actually referring to case venting to berg oil filler, but forgot about sump tank venting, so that as well

Which is less than a original 1600ccm engine.

Personally I like to went where the "pressure" is created and not the valve covers. If you do a search here on The Lounge you will find plenty of threads where this is discussed (thats the beauty with forums) and you will also find how you can port the inside of the case. I have a 24mm hose on my little engine.

^^^^^^^. This, plenty of case venting is all you need, why go complex? There are just about valid reasons to vent the rocker covers for circuit racing, but with dry sump the best way is to scavenge them.

I am going to run dash 12 for all the hoses, it just now means the berg breather will need modifying and new bungs welded on.
