I'm leaning towards the iron pipe, but only because I can I an buy it
in a 4 ft or 6 ft lengths in the plumbing section.  The conduit is
only available in 10ft sections, and I don't need a breaker bar
extener that long.

Conduit isn't strong enough, it will peel open at the bottom end.  Been
there, tried that.  I have a 5' chunk of iron pipe.

i'm sure you both know this but this will void any warranty on your
breaker bar. My 1/2" breaker bar has a slight twist in it because of
such activites :) My 3/4" one seems to be OK so far :) Just inspect
your tools well before using Excessive Force (tm) on them; you don't
want to lose an eye when, say, the pin holding the square drive to the
bar itself shatters.
