After breaking by KH 20" Trial's seat post, I am looking at buying a new
one from Bedford. I wanted a Cr-Mo seat post but they arent available
for my KH. He does however have a Carbon Fiber seat post which costs
$100. Is the carbon fiber worth getting? Or should I get the original
one again that already broke on me? Or should I order the Cr-Mo from
the UK? All imput greatly appreciated.

I can eliminate the expensive option for you easily. You don't want a
CF seatpost for trials. CF can't take the abuse from hits and scrapes
and other things.

For the other options just give Bedford a call and see what he suggests
as being the best option.

you can get 'Chromoly seat posts' (http://tinyurl.com/gytsw) to fit the
Kris Holm unicycle. These will be much stronger than aluminium post
they come with. I don't recommend carbon fiber seat post for a trails
unicycle although they are light they can break catastrophically
