Hey guys,
How bout the 19mm sway bar? Is it worth upgrading my 18mm SE sway bar to the BAT 19mm? Is it worth it, will I notice a difference?
Will the frame/mounts still need re-inforcing?

You should be OK with the 19mm bar. That's the largest bar that Ford put on the Contour.
I have a brand new 19mm rear sway bar and rubber bushings I bought from BAT (Ford OEM part). I also have heavy duty brackets and 19mm polyurethane bushings that I bought from Performance Fords for use with the stock subframe.
19mm rear sway bar, polyurethane bushings, and heavy duty brackets are really the best you can do without reinforcing the subframe. You will notice a difference in handling.
My Plans changed and I am not going to use these parts - if you want them, I can make you a good deal.
