When I cycled across Canada it was padded shorts all the way. I've never worn bibs so wouldn't know any difference but certainly the shorts never caused any problems.
Thinking about some of the hottest days at 30oC+, bibs might have been a bit uncomfortably warm.
As for clothes to take with you, might be worth a trip to Rohan. Pretty light gear that doesn't look too shabby straight out of the Carradice for those occasions when you don't want to walk around in day old sweaty lycra. A little pricey but the stuff lasts.
