My OEM front sway bar is broke so a new one is being bought and installed. Will i see a big difference if i use a 32mm instead of a 30mm solid bar. what if i use a 32mm tubular bar? 30mm is stock on my 1992 SE right?

With only doing the front, you'll feel a difference. Especially over a broken one. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to consider doing the rear as well.
Front only should cause a little understeer.

i'm thinking about stock just because the larger sway bar will keep it flatter in the corners and whatnot but i'm looking more for everyday comfort and driveability

From an SSEi owner, you won't regret either of the options. If you like being on a boat ride with many waves, go SE if you want the car to hold a corner, SSEi

So the SSEI sway bar is a direct bolt in as long as u get the 32mm links and bushings? the suspension geometry is the same on a SE and a SSEI? there will be no ill effects if i use a 32mm sway bar? whats the differences in handling, installation, ect between tubular and solid bar?

SE rolls in a corner much more than a SSEi. That'* about it. We own big cars and they sway/lean quite a bit. The larger bar is a direct bolt up as long as you are talking 92-99 for your car.
Overall, by the time you do drive it again, you are going to fall in love.
New shocks
New brakes
New sway
It'* going to be amazing.
