If girls are going to be holding onto it and walking around you should be fine with pretty much anything you do.
If you're going to have girls that know how to pole dance on it, reinforcing it is your only option. I've seen poles at clubs that weren't properly reinforced get ripped out of the ceiling.
Best bet if you're looking to move it around make a solid base and having it open ended, they're sturdy up to about 6 feet. You can make the base out of steel or whatever and the pole can be any material as long as it's grippy and can support the force that a spinning body will exert on it.
If you're looking for a relatively flush mounted pole from floor to ceiling, finding a good spot to drill it into the floor with a brass or steel base and the same thing to the ceiling is your best option.
If you want to test either of them, get someone that weighs around 200 pounds to literally run at it and grab onto it mid-air. If it rips out, try again. If it stays then chances are it will hold a 125lb chick spinning around upside down.
