Converting to drop bars

I'm going to convert to drop bars on my Jamis Coda Elite, which has disk brakes. The stem on the bike is for handlebars that are 25.4. I was wondering if I should go with a different stem and go to the 31.8 handlebars. I have big hands and I thought that the bigger bars may be better. The photos are to show the brake cables and if I would have a problem with where the bosses are. I read where some people have had some problems with the Tectro (spelling) brake levers and I was thinking about going with Shimano. It will have bar-end shifters as well. Thanks for any help.
