I see no urgency to make a snap decision, since the OP has been gone for six weeks. We can leave all the possible solutions open. Others will find and read this thread, they deserve a range of rational solutions.

1/4" bar vs 3/8 bar. go with 1/4-inch bar and weld it
The limiting factor is tension, not deflection. It would be sufficient to go with 1/8" strap, wrap it over the arms and bolt it.
