Go big on the conduit...as you learned with the old conduit...If you want to run communications or 50amp line later, it's much easier if you have a 2" or even larger conduit to work with and the cost difference is negligible.
You’ll want communications in a separate conduit above the electrical in the same trench.
It's fine to put comms in the conduit. The only issue is anyone working on it needs to be qualified to work around electricity...assuming you farm out the work.
We did it all the time on signal systems...finally had to change and run independent conduits for power and comms because as we added more high tech devices needing comms, we were getting a lot of technicians who weren't licensed electricians working on the systems, so technically, they were not allowed to go into any part of the system that had live electrical wires. If they were combined, they had to drag an electrician along to watch...by splitting it out, they could go do work by themselves.
