Diaphragm table in building code states "minimum nominal panel thickness" (and requires minimum nail penetration).  So, for 1-1/8" sheathing, use either 15/32" Str. I numbers or 19/32 sheathing numbers (turns out they are the same numbers).  And make sure nail is long enough to provide 1-1/2" penetration (1-5/8" for older building codes).
