Your pockets are a lot deeper than mine! For what 1 inch copper will run, you could run 2 inch PVC and still have money left over. Whatever you do, don't skimp on the diameter. 250 feet is a long run for even 1 inch pipe. How big is "big enough" is hard to say; you want as big of pipe as your water meter tap can supply, but I have no idea what that would be. 1-1/2 PVC sounds good to me; you know your flow rate will be at least as good as what you have now. The size of the outlets in your house is irrelevant. Water loses pressure flowing through a pipe over distance. 1-1/4" pipe will have about half the pressure drop of one inch pipe, while 1-1/2 inch pipe will have about half the pressure drup of 1-1/4. How much that pressure drop will be depends on the maximum flow rate, which is dependent on your water main tap.
