I use a carboy cap first, then 1/2" ID tubing on the larger nipple. However, the carboy caps don't quite fit tight on BBs so I'm thinking of going to rubber stoppers.
I do the same.

I use the BB closure with the O-ring. 1/2 inch OD tubing is a nice snug fit in the O-ring. It's been large enough for all of my brews to date.

I believe Better Bottles take a #10 stopper. I drilled mine to fit the 1.25" tubing that I had on hand. I think the opening on them is 1 7/8ths and I could not find tubing to fit snugly.

As others have done, I drilled my rubber stopper to fit the 1/2" tubing...

Has anybody tried taking a large diameter hose and fitting it over the entire neck of the better bottle? I'm talking a big diameter (not sure what the OD is for a B.B. anyway. I ordered a couple BB's and while I'm waiting for them to arrive I'm contemplating the same question about blow-off.
I'm thinking that as long as it sanitized (the hose and the outer neck), and it is a snug fit, it would work fine, and would give plenty of room for the thickest blowoff imagineable.
Any thoughts?

If you can find a tube that fits over it, that should work just fine. If it's not tight enough for you then zip tie it or put some safety wire around it or something along those lines.BrianP said:
Really guys, it's a blow off tube, not brain surgery.
