I want to order the Mohgasm C6 JAD kit, but I need to know which driver output I want to use.

They range from 100mA to 1.8A. For a 445nm 1W laser, what is recommended?

Well you will probably want to stick with a lower current like 1.25A but you can go all the way up to 1.8A if you want just want a beast at burning,
Basically
Lower current = lower output power (longer life)
Higher current = higher output power (shorter life)

I have yet to go above 1.25A with a M140 diode.

You should do a bit of research, I had all those same questions then some
