Does anyone have any opinions, good or bad, or general advice about
using structural insulated panels (sips) to frame up a house? The
ones I have been reading about have 3 or 3 1/2" polyurethane foam
bonded to 7/16" osb on each side.

I find them somewhat pricey and not worth the hassles and expense of
surface-mounted electrical conduit

There are no surface mounted conduit...they have conduit and
electrical boxes inside the walls...your electrician then 'fishes' the
wires through the conduit.

I have been considering these as well, they just seem a bit expensive.
