Of recent I have fallen for Soma Sparrow bars. Not too much drop yet sufficient to add some variety in riding position. The really nice thing is they come in 3 widths. I have the 490mm on my SteamRoller and just put a set of 560mm on my Troll. The 490's have limited space on the drop, they work well with bar end brake levers. The 520's claim to have sufficient space for brake levers and shifters and the 560's have all sorts of space, I am running flat bar brake levers and Paul thumbs and testing them with ergo grips.
