I'm not sure that percentage of expansion is the relevant consideration here.  I would think that the gap between the cylinders (i.e., portion of the diameter) is the important part, and since the expansion occurs in the circumference the gap changes by a factor of pi less.

Even less reason to be concerned, I think.

Circumference and diameter grow by the same percentage (since C = d * pi), so CTE wise, it's the same whether you use diameter or circumference.
