No help on what size wires you can get through the conduit, but you
NEVER want to have the ground wire smaller than the hot wires - larger
is okay, but never smaller. I'd say pretty much the same thing for the
neutral too.
If something shorts, the path back is through the ground, and it had
better be "big" enough to carry the full load (and then some).
