I generally go with the external rim width. Once it's pulled down into the well of the rim it will be just flush with the base of the rim hook.

I thought i29 were 29mm internal. They have a pretty deep well. I think wtb recommend 5mm more than the internal measurement and do 34mm.

WTB recommend inner rim width +5mm.

WTB sell 34mm tape for i29 rims.

Stans do a 33mm width tape which should be ok. I just ordered some for the same rims.

Also its not essential to go wider than the inner width if you're not constantly changing tires. I used 25mm tape on some 25mm inner width rims 2 years ago and they are fine.
