Question: The Earl comes with a front / rear brake. Are you planning on re-using the levers / brakes?

If so, I would say shell out some money to get Nitto RB-021. I like these bullhorns because they provide a variety of hand positions.

If not, I would say you may have to get some Origin 8 bullhorns and a brake setup from Bike Island

Regarding the cog, I've seen them ranging anywhere from $7 to $20 and up.

Picking the cog will depend on what gear ratio you want. You can use this calculator to figure that out the appropriate cog to get.

The next natural question is how do you pick what gear ratio. Think about your current gearing on your 44x17 bike. Do you find that it's just right? Get a 17t cog. Think it's too hard to pedal with? Get a larger cog - 18t and up. Think it's too easy to pedal with? Get a smaller cog - 16t and below.

I got something like this for my bike:

Of course, now it's wrapped with bar-end brakes.

I think the catching one on trees is more of a joke/myth than something that actually happens. If you think about the plane of typical (forget the formal term) u shaped handles that a lot of racing bikes have, they have basically the same plane as bullhorns when looked at from above.

And, if you consider that regular straight bars will have about the same clearance to the side of the bike... there's really not much difference. If you're going to catch something inside a bullhorn, really, it'd probably throw you off using regular handlebars too (as I doubt you'll recover from how far your wheel would be wrenched to the side along with the associated sudden drop on momentum in any case).

Bullhorns aren't for everyone, but for someone like me, they provide a second position and allow me to stay comfortable, and the risks of riding with them are mostly a joke/myth.
