Default NEC Rules on Grounding Electrode Conductor(s)

If I'm reading you correctly, I'd just use #4 copper for the
grounding electrode conductors, which don't need supplemental
protection, and run them along side the conduit through the
crawlspace


That would work fine, but the exterior portion is right near the front
entry, so it becomes a cosmetic issue. Is there anything wrong with
running the GEC through the exterior conduit stub (with the feeder)
instead of alongside it? In the crawl space there's no conduit, just
the SER cable and the bare GECs.
